[abot] some thought on os fundaments

[Prroffessorr Fir Kenobi]

[abot = a bit of topic, i post here becouse
i suspect there may be a bit of practical
programmers and os is practical problem for
practical programmers /though i know it is not on c++ if not interested skip it]

I recently seen some very lame person
that was sitting against fresh instalation
on winxp (on some older machine)

this person was barely able to use a mouse
and was acting this way that opened every
dialog/program and clicked everything

for example she tried to rename documents-and-settings folder etc

such usage would be able to take down this machine in a couple of minutes

i began then to thing if it would be really
harder and not logical to put some basic
security in such system and what it would
need to be


wasnt it to be just sufficient to put whole
os instalation into one folder (may it be /WINDOWS) where basic user would not be able just to delete or change files?

other thing is how rest of the filesystem
should look like

[fir]

as to this filesystem i see that there
should be such points to fulfill

1) every program installed should have accesto some disk space where it could save its data

2) system could eventually provide support for many users/accounts

but im not sure if not more things should be provided (? - some hints?)

if speaking how to implement those above
points it seem that it could be done if
each user would have ovn folder near the root

\WINDOWS
\USERS\ala
\USERS\john

programs should probably have their own
foler

\PROGRAMS

and as a storage space programs probably should vrite its settings to some location in users space

i dont know linux but linux seem to do something like that (though maybe a bit more complicated and im not sure if this additional complication is ok)

windows also try to do it like that but
windows makes overall trash imo
(windows xp for example adds some 4 additional 'account folders' default-user loca-service network-service and all-users
besides the one which i could see as my user flder - besides the content of this folders also makes a feeling of trash)
