www.qnx.com did the same thing along time ago its not that new qnx fits on a
3.5 floppy it has a browser a couple games and a basic word processing packet
it can even hook up to the internet via modem or network, qnx however is
working on creating a full os with even more features using this process of
micro programming, it however their main contributor who started the program
died of cancer i believe earlier this year, but he left as much info to his
developers as possible to continue their work,
by the way the current demo disk available does not access your hard drive.
although im looking forward to future developments

Trinux is a portable Linux distribution that boots from a single floppy
