When I read this item in the backend submission queue, I must admit that I thought it was a fake, and I must say that I'm still not confident enough about this one. A Korean company held a press event today during which it launched its Tmax Window operating system. Built on in-house technology, they claim it has 100% compatibility with Windows software. Update: A lot more information in this article.

Well, there was this a few years ago, based on FreeDos originally:

Which basically aimed to run binaries from practically every other operating system going.
It now seems to have been picked up simply as a FreeDos variant (a guess, since I do not speak Spanish):
http://meos.sourceforge.net/
So, this might be possible - no idea if the South Korean effort has taken this as a base, even conceptually.
Just remember, even though the method behind the creation of Snuppy was deemed to be dodgy and unethical in some respects, the animal itself was inependently established as being a genuine clone, and the effect has been replicated since.

Don't write the South Koreans of too quickly, or be too ready to suspect the worst...:-)!
