Heh, it's exactly what Microsoft's primary vision is - one integrated
desktop environment, providing you all the services you'd ever need.
ActiveDirectory and Exchange to integrate contacts and messaging. One
univocal services platform, dictating your needs and abilities. One
vision for what you can do with your computer.
Your idea is old hat, and it's and ugly hat. Give me well-defined
interfaces any day of the week. There's a reason they have absurd
computer interaction models in movies and television shows:
they're fictional.
