Over the past few years I have hear of other OSes.
Menuet,Kolibri(Menuet fork),Skyos,Atheos,DexOS,Haiku(Beos clone)etc.
The 32 bit assembly language OSes are pretty cool. They work in protected mode and can go into longmode (64 bit).
Menuet is one that comes in 32 bit and 64 bit.
These small OSes come with a gui. Even with a gui there is alot of programs on them. Kolibri is one of the best that I have seen. I have not been able to get it to go on the net yet. It had task bar that worked with the WIN button on my keyboard like wndows. It had a listing for Quake but I do not have a hard drive to install the os or the program. Crud!
It makes me wonder what the dos world would have been like with them and now I know. The exception would be Dos4GW for msDos.
I wonder if having a bunch of open source OSes around is not some of the problem with the developement of the ones we would like to see worked on.
