I think it would totally defeat the purpose. MSIL looks like assembly for a reason, because it's a simple way to specify RISC instructions. Those RISC-like instructions are translated into actual CPU instructions optimized for the CPU it's running on. If you want to change the way it optimizes, that means new hardware, as opposed to new software which is just bits.

Microsoft is experimenting with an entirely managed OS, all code would have to be managed code, i.e. MSIL instructions. They call it Singularity (awesome name), it's one of their research projects. I think this is the better approach. GC is built on top of Windows memory management, but in singularity, GC is the memory management model. This is one of its major optimizations.
