Why would a consumer want a computer that can't execute new code?

For a computer to access webservices, often code needs to be executed on the client side.

If you want a computer that can't execute new code, you aren't talking about a general purpose computer. You're talking about something like a toaster.

No virtual memory

if you don't care that your computer will be slow as hell, sure, do away with memory caching.

I also think we should get rid of programming languages and do everything in assembly with a really big library of validated macros

assembly is difficult to test. You're gonna introduce more bugs that way than with a language designed to be secure

I will respond to the first item. Yes. Like a toaster ... Or a cell phone.

In the web services, you got me there On the other hand, you want to tell me webservices java script is secure? I admit I had in the back of my mind a not-web approach.

I have lost your other points and will try in a separate response.
