Back in 1991 IBM bet their operating system strategy on a project called “Workplace OS” which was supposed to be exactly that, although it didn’t include a VM:
“Above the PNS, the operating system personalities run in the form of user-space servers that execute DOS, OS/2, and UNIX—with further intentions to support Microsoft Windows, OS/400, AIX, Taligent, and MacOS personalities.”
It’s been called one of the most expensive failures in operating system development.
