The idea of an operating system is to provide resources to applications (amongst other things), so why not introduce a system where each application has to ask for permission to use something.
The idea would be simple, once you have installed your product it'll ask you (the user) permission to access
certain resources (e.g. the internet, areas of the registry, etc..). If it doesn't ask it doesn't get access, and if you choose not to let it have access it doesn't exist. This could go for the files as well. You could choose only to give the application to certain folders.
The question about permissions could be written in plain english (e.g. to allow this computer to access the internet, click here, however this does mean personal information could be sent to other computers).
This would certainly slow down viruses and other such things....?
