Don't even try to excuse my ignorance ...... but what is a vector-based OS ? I can think of vector-based GUI-Toolkits and so (Display-PostScript comes to mind), but a whole OS  :huh:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Well NeXtStep did you DPS, not sure if thats still true for OSX.

But even then you would still have some bitmap-images encapsulated into it.
