Then allow me to turn it on and off on a per-app basis. The undo should work step by step (as in most apps with editing functionality), or via a slider. Let's call it "Core Undo".

While I don't want my desktop OS to be locked down like my iPhone, a opt-in (noth vendor and consumer) software app registry and update service seems like a no-brainer as an evolutionary step. one more thought.

Because for most this would be a hardware and software fix there needs to be a better way to do this all around, not just in the OS. But man I would buy this OS! Very nice idea's and as a SysAdmin would love to have this out there! The only thing I disagree with is backups.
