OSNews, Generic OSes There is at least one project that aims to build an Ajax OS from the ground up: Atomic OS. It has a ROM and a Kernel and build itself up much like a real operating system on real hardware. The only difference is that everything is written in Javascript.

Some months ago someone posted about a *nix shell coded in javascript, that worked right in your browser. Just a way to squeeze the language.

Yeah, I tried it, it sucked.

I'd rather install a _real_ shell on my system that won't require some stupid web browser that requires a specific requirement of OS, etc.

I mean, come on. Now I don't just require an OS to run a browser, but I need a specific level of browser that requires a specific level of OS.

This whole requiring a new platform indirection layer to abstract the OS is a load of crap.
