I'll take ...
- the clustering and stability of VMS
- the UI of SunOS circa 1992-ish
- the windowing system being a mash-up of NeWS, X11 and Plan 9
- the consistency of Plan 9
- the frugality with resources of QNX
- the scalability of Irix
- the even-my-mother-can-use-it-ness of iOS and its applications
- the the-hardware-just-works-ness of anything Apple
- the FOSSness of Linux or {Free,Net}BSD
- the documentation of Oracle's databases
- for the filesystem I want to smash together the elegant simplicity of POSIX, the versioning and ACLs of VMS, the databasey-ness that never really made it into BeOS (I understand that OS/400 has similar concepts, but I've never used that), and networkability of Plan 9
I would also like a kitten, and for sausages to grow on trees.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
