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.

Hey, Very impressive stuff. With a minor amount of work, which you alluded was already happening, this could be a really awesome toy/tool. If you get the IP stack complete, and get the font stuff done, it is darn close to excellent. I can think of multiple situations where I could use it as a diagnostic tool. The only things it lacks, which I am certain you are already doing, is ip Telnet, and a simple file manipulation tool. IE cp, rm, etc; in a console window, or a simple graphical one. I do QA for a living, so if you want a QA guy to be nasty and critical I offer my services.
