That's what I was getting at. The market (businesses and individuals) won't buy an operating system that requires vastly faster (and more expensive) hardware to maintain performance while at the same time obsoleting nearly all of the hardware one owns. (I still use a SCSI Zip drive, for example.) Not to mention that the OS will be much vulnerable to quirky hardware glitches and crashes, by design.
I was just thinking that in college, I downloaded a Monty Python sound scheme for Doom. It was pretty funny when the demons said "message for you sir" just before collapsing into a bloody heap. This is the kind of thing the DRM will stiffle. The hardcore pirates will always find a way.
