Most Powerful OS & Platform Ever?
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 11:02 am
I have seen several comments over the net that refer to a Mexican operating system that it is said to be the most powerful OS ever, and not only that, but they also claim to have done a complete, separate platform which uses its own hardware and that can use standard PCI peripheral cards as well.
What do you think? Their affirmations make look all of our efforts here at this OSDev board as rubbish, worthless and obsolete with no exception.
The strange thing is that people says that even when somebody wants to buy a CD-ROM with that OS from them, they say invariably that "it's not available to be sold" yet they claim that they have made the most cheap computer, $99, equiped with a web browser, codecs for virtually all multimedia formats, PDF reader/generator and a full fledged 3D capable desktop environment (some applications), claimed to be as complete as Linux or Windows. But that "they aren't available to be sold either".
There are some people that say they have managed to have bought one of those CD-ROMs (2 people or so) and they say that they run it in standard x86 hardware through a emulation layer, and that its web browser and OS is one of "first and high order quality".
I don't get to understand that. All of us here know how much work it takes to create a simple kernel, but those people claim to have made it along with its own full hardware platform and "a screen resolution much better than known"; they even have some 3D GIFs and AVIs animations that if inspected seem to have made by their software (they contain comment strings that make reference to that) and by looking their browser name it seems to have been catched on navigation through some web statistics, so for that part it seems to be genuine.
But how is it possible that they have managed to have made something like Linux but more stable, an OS that can fully load in 4 seconds and ready to work, and supposedly that can rivalize and pulverize any project made by big enterprises (MS, Intel...) or communities (GNU)?
Some people say that they have visited them in their Mexican residence, they don't allow anybody to take photos, not even handle the PC (they can only see how its "creators" operate it), and they refuse irremediably to show the motherboard that is inside its case. Also they will never ever sell one of those "PCs", and they say that some 10 million people or a megacorporation would be needed to buy/sell it; and in short they evade each and every question that would disclose even the simplest detail of the OS and platform they say to have developed and to be "a weapon too powerful to be known by the world".
They also say that their system have absolutely no bugs and no hacker ever could break it, and that they have made 11 generations of computers through 30 years of experience or so.
What do you think? Will they really be so powerful programmers as to have programmed any application you may think of for their platform and being able to program any further application in few months, no matter how complex it is, and the only missing link is that they won't allow you to have direct contact not even with a binary, severely stripped-out demo distribution of their own OS?
