I think you are thinking of something like KaffeOS
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/defense/.
I've often wondered why OS vendors, especially Microsoft, are not putting
Java support right into existing operating systems (or maybe they are and I
haven't noticed it). In this way Java classes can be treated like
dynamically linked libraries (aka shared objects) and shared across
processes, significantly reducing resource requirements and decreasing
startup times on systems that are running multiple Java processes.
<good-natured-flame-bait>
I think Microsoft should have realized a long time ago that Java was not
"pollutable", that MS can't lure developers away from Java, that MS has to
give users a reason to use Wintel machines to run Java. If I were MS I
would have put compatible Java right into the OS, making it possible to use
Wintel machines to run lots of server-side Java apps much better than any
VM. Then I'd be real slow in releasing upgrades to the built-in Java, thus
stunting it's growth. Instead, by abandoning Java, MS is drawing a line in
the sand, and is on the wrong side of that line.
