I've always been a huge fan of what I call the "MovieOS". It's absolutely amazing, and practically psychic! You punch two GUI buttons and whatever you want to do, be it launch a nuclear missile or buy something from amazon, it's already *done*! There's never any waiting, it's always perfectly responsive. It's able to bust arbitrarily huge encryption (a la Swordfish) in record times. The progress bars are *always* exactly representative of how it's doing, the rate of completion for a task is always constant. It's never hackable, unless it's supposed to be. It has awesome blue-on-black interfaces with fun 3dFX (like in Jurassic Park). It *never* uses crappy old Tahoma for its default font, but always some "futuristic" font that I can just never, ever find.
On the downside, though, the Movie OS does seem to use a lot of modal dialogues.
