OSNews, Generic OSes Version 0.65 of the Visopsys operating system was released today. A lot of work has been done on the USB subsystem and underlying UHCI driver - though it's still not 'there' yet it has been re-enabled for the time being. New features were added to the Disk Manager (a.k.a. Partition Logic) including partition copy/paste (same disk or disk-to-disk). And finally, as with the last few releases there's been a focus on improving the GUI code. You can demo Visopsys on a floppy or live CD. Downloads and change log.

Interesting OS

I have been trying out this OS every so often for a few years now, and it seems pretty cool. The only thing I would love to see though, is for the appearance to be fixed up a bit. Currently, it's not very pleasant to look at, but I have to give credit to Andy McLaughlin, he's written an OS, and thats something that most of us can't say. Keep up the good work.

yep, this is a very impressive work. especially considering it's one man behind all this.

being a programmer, I'm particularly fond of the clean and very well structured API. someday (tm), I will sit down and write some code on Visopsys to try it out.

again, massive respects to the author of this cool little OS.
