I think MenuetOS was one of the first things I saw on OSNews (if it wasn't the project that led me to OSNews in the first place)... Fitting an entire modern OS, written in assembly of all things, onto a single floppy is a pretty incredible deal. They just don't make 'em like that any more.

Of course, now there are two; the focus on MenuetOS seems to have shifted to the 64-bit version, and there seems to be active development of a 32-bit fork called KolibriOS. http://www.kolibrios.org/
