I'm not sure what you mean by 'DLL hell.' And honestly reboots are technically not neccessary to update, at least since XP, but they tend to require them anyway because...well, because they can't really program well enough to be sure it works without a reboot. That does annoy me. :p
I would HATE a machine or software that automatically updated everything in the background. Hate. I want total control over my machine, which is why Google's plan for the future of computing makes me very angry (not to mention the reason for it). I tend to think most users would be confused by a new feature suddenly appearing in their software.

So what's your reimagining of OSs? :)
