Now, perhaps Maemo's not going to be the end-all-be-all OS, but we should be thinking in terms of that instead of VMing everything(which /will/ reduce performance).
Completely agree, one great OS is definatly the way forward...but none of them are quite there yet... and im guessing there will always be apps that are only available on one....unfortunately....

although VM probably isn't the best way while the hardware hasn't caught up, it eventually will and I do believe VM style systems have a lot of very useful applications, some are listed below (on gazza_d's post).

Don't get me wrong I really do like Maemo, and your right chroot solves some of the missing features, however I do think it is worth looking into...
