A feature I liked in Bell Labs "Plan 9" was the separate name-space
for each user (or process?). Such name-spaces would allow an 
elegant solution for networks of heterogenous computers; "/bin/sh"
would always to the standard shell, no matter what machine you're
working on. It would provide you with a uniform view of the
file-system no matter where you are logged in.
