 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
