It's a bit curious compared to a commercial OS, but this much polish in a package this small is worth more attention.

Oh, and I gotta say... It's pretty darn impressive that it's all assembly :O The author has some darn skillz :3 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 00:37:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (WereCatf) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?295309 http://osnews.com/thread?295309 Wow. That's pretty impressive, I want to follow this project. Looking at the programming API it actually seems kind of sane for assembly.

The time to boot from floppy Image to usable Internet Browser is 20s. For windows Vista, it is about 4 minutes.

And to have a textured/lit maze demo that runs using a custom renderer on un-accelerated vmware display at >5fps is really a miracle.

I think this little sucker is going to join my OS collection under it's own VM.

And then suddenly all the attention was on SkyOS and you never saw posts about it anymore? Is this the same one? It was really nice and tight back in the day Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:22:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Dreadstar) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?295561 http://osnews.com/thread?295561 it was MenuetOS, then the developer moved to 64-bit assembly and more or less abandoned the 32-bit version (which is now, I think, called Kolibri).

The focus is now on 64bit version since most of todays sold computers support 64bit. Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:35:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (michael135) Comments
