I would actually love to see a full, from-scratch rewrite of Windows. I'm not sure if it's ever been done before, but it definitely feels like it hasn't.

Well, Windows NT was that.

It was even on the verge of being a microkernel and it could run a super light weight virtualization (for the lack of a better word) system: OS personas.

It would be interesting to get Windows NT NextGen, true.

You might be interested in ReactOS[1]. Their objective is to make a 100% FOSS Windows Compatible OS, including drivers.

Currently, they're at around ~WinXP level support
