I mean, Windows 98's "Active Desktop" was pretty much this.

Someone at Microsoft has been trying to make MSN a thing for almost thirty years, and they're sure that if they ram it down out throats just one more time we'll finally accept it.

Except you Active Desktop wasn't on by default and was easily turned off in even the cheapest version of the OS.
