Today we are hosting an interview with Ville Turjanmaa, the creator of the Menuet Operating System. Menuet is a new, 32-bit OS, it fits to a single floppy (along with 10 or so more applications that come as standard with the OS). It features protection for the memory and code, it has a GUI running at 16,7 million colors, sound at 44.1 khz stereo, easy of use and easy low level API. And the most important and notable feature? The whole OS was written in 100%, pure 32-bit x86 assembly code.

If your keyboard and mouse are PS2, it should have worked (you can move the mouse cursor with ALT+cursor keys). If they are both USB, then no, you can't interact with Menuet at all. Thanks for saving me the BeOS reboot btw. Yes, this is the way to write Menuet through BeOS.
