MenuetOS Debuts

Eugenia Loli-Queru writes: "OSNews is hosting an interview with Ville Turjanmaa, the creator of the Menuet Operating System. Menuet is a new, 32-bit OS under the GPL and it fits to a single floppy (along with 10 or so more applications that come as standard with the OS). It features protection for the memory and code, it has a GUI running at 16.7 million colors (except with 3Dfx Voodoo cards), sound at 44.1 khz stereo etc. And the most important and notable feature? The whole OS was written in 100%, pure 32-bit x86 assembly code!"

  7. Wide range of OS's will split the support wont it? by itsnotme · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    With all the different OS's coming out with various different things in it, like beOS, Debian, and so on having different things to be supported within it.. wont that split the support even further apart? I've got to admit that its cool that they're still making new OS's and having different features in it but there's also the inherent problem of supporting it.. Will this OS get enough support from people nowdays that are coming from picking their OS from a wide range of currently available ones? Windows.. DOS ( does anybody actually use it anymore? ).. Mac.. Linux.. and all of the distributions.. BSD.. Solaris.. and so on..

    I know there's a hell lot more of different OS's out there so shouldnt there be some kind of standard set now so that support would be easily gotten across a wider range of platforms?

    When I was a boy I was out drinking beer and chasing girls. I was not holed up at home writing operating systems. Damm Fins. No wonder they lost the war or at least the Germans did and Germany's not so far from Finland, 'I'm just popping off to Finland to lose a war, back in time for tea', little Adolph would say and true to his word he did. Oh they grow up so fast don't they.
