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.

Why is it that every time somebody writes something cool - in this case a FULL GUI ASM OS that fits on a floppy, people feel the need to pick it to peices. This guy rocks. Anybody that can have the dedication to write that much, and release it to the public, for public consumption, rocks. You can whine about it not being something, or having design characteristics, but I don't see you doing anything better. How many people can say they wrote a whole OS, in ASM nonetheless. Not very many. You people need to get a life. bah.
