Yes, yes, thats the spirit!
It reminds me of one disk games on the Amiga (floppy that is :)
Why should you be able to jump back and forth between your game session and word processing (could be useful when the boss arrives though).
There would be a problem to support all the current & future hardware but there would be no problems with newer OS and so on.
How large would the OS be with drivers for all graphiccards, soundcards, mouses, keypads, joysticks ......
Maybe only 100-200 MB. That leaves 450-550 free for the game. But when this idea will be used DVD will be the media and then the OS part is just a tiny part.
Would anyone care to test this idea? It must work.
And in the DVD case there could be a lilo boot to make it run under win/linux and if HFS hybrid even Mac all from the same disk. That would be the day...
