My 2 cents worth -

JavaOS should be ported natively to whatever processor is of interest; you
shouldn't have an OS on top of a VM on top of a VM. Besides, for the client-
side applications that Java was intended for, it can stand alone; Linux is
not an end in itself, especially for those apps, and having a shell on top
of Java is not that useful. Linux's strength is being on the server side
of the network of Java clients, or running a combination of fast native code
and slow Java clients.
