Your first paragraph was dead on, which is why I think it would be cool if Home or Sony to clarify did make an OS, for their hardware, if Sony continues their style of driving the bleeding edge. (Their new style) then Home must be it, but the 3d world and how that would work with the simple but indepth functions of a windowed OS would have too many vents before you could get anything done. That's when I read the article where a developer (3rd party) noted that Home litterally had sub parts to it, similar to the structure of a drop tree style used into directories on Windows., that's when the online functions hit me, that the foreseen Home may use some manner of search just like on the internet today, to get to each branch. But my main thing was that XMB would keep it's current simplicity, meaning I would buy that OS, which is why I said I'm viewing it like a consumer. Having something else search for you is much faster than clicking on serveral layers or branches or icons.
Beyond that what this Home could bring to the plate that Windows hasn't brough yet.. the possibilities resemble the new possibilities developers who embraced the Wiimote faced. Specially now with the 1:1.
As for the pointer, I'd figure they are gunning for Eye toy to work as a pointer, but that's just me speculating now and nothing else, I have seen software using it as a pointer in action... it's not user friendly in my opinion though.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
