OK, It is not the problem to realize the elf loader for example.. it can 
be ported from opensources to this system.. the only is needed to realize 
standart runtime library for our OS.
It is better use ready-to-use format rather than imagine own executable 
file format and have a lot problems with compiling and executing 
it further.

OK. I didn't think about it.. as I said before We can realize application 
which login to server with personal folders, mount them, change the 
desktop with correspondence to user preference which are stored in 
personal data...
