I think it'd be a pretty "smart" move (maybe not as smart as it seems... probably just an entirely illogical dream) for Nintendo (or any other gaming software company, of course, but I just prefer Nintendo... go retro, ja?) to develop a specialized OS specifically designed for gaming, complete with optimized resource usage for optimal gaming specs.
With PC gaming possibly on the rise again, that could be an excellent motion. Hardcore gamers would scramble for dualboxing with an OS that caters to videogamers, especially if it's easier to use than Linux and more compatible with Windows software/drivers/etc.
Knowing Microsoft, they'd even be willing to work with Nintendo to combine efforts on it - Windows Nintendo? Doubt Ninty would be willing to share it with Microsoft, as long as M$ is in the console business.
