Windows 10 does per-application volume control.

Chrome OS has a fixed app install location, as does Windows 10 in 'S' mode (since you can only install store apps).

I remember being intrigued by the database-as-filesystem idea when it was first touted - has any OS actually implemented this? I'd be interested to see how it works in practice.

"pick"

Everything old is new again... this was from the mid-60s and was relatively popular for its time.

Very interesting. The one thing that stood out to me was this, though:

> It is named after one of its developers, Dick Pick.

What an unfortunate name.

OS/400 did this, very cool tech that was never "cool"

Given the way Android and UWP apps work, I always have a warm fuzzy feeeling of carrying a subset of OS/400 design ideas with me.
