I wish someone would make a platform that takes that idea to the next level:
Your spreadsheets? No, they're not in Excel® or numbers.app or OpenOffice. They're in "Spreadsheets".
Same with documents: Not in Word or pages.app or w/e. They're in Documents.
Want to browse the web? No Safari or Firefox or Chrome names. Click on the icon that says "Web browser".
Your e-mail? Click the shiny "e-mail" icon.
(note: this is more about shielding/releasing the user from having to worry about underlying technologies. Basically, the "it just works" taken to the next level)
