That's not a vision, that's a nightmare.  Do you really want a computer where
you can't tell whether it's pulling code (or even just data) off your hard
drive or off of some stranger's server? A Java-based system could be made
sufficiently secure for this; even on a Unix box, I might chance it, provided
it didn't apply to root.  But not on Windows.

(And, yes, I know network file systems give this property.  But they generally
don't get mounted from just anywhere.  [Yes, AFS excepted.])
