The fact that you might be living in a modern city with a public transport system and thus a certain amount of time passing in the upright position?
The fact that you might want to feel comfortable while doing so?
The fact you might not want to dedicate all your carry-on capacity to such a device? |

An advantage of such an OS is that it would not have a working browser, hence we would be gaming instead of posting on internet forums.
Just sayin' as someone who neither have a will, a 360 or a ps3 yet. |

Not really. Again, BeOS - a single-user built, multitasking OS with a microkernel using fully dinamically loaded drivers, and designed around media creation, instead of a bloated BSD distro like OSX. |
BeOS did not really have a working web browser! |
