Techweb heeft een kewl nieuwsbericht over een nieuwe besturingsysteem met de (naar mijn mening intens debiele 
) naam "PetrOS". Is dit de MessiOS die ons van Windoos gaat verlossen?
Next month, Australian company Trumpet Software will release an alpha version of its new operating system called PetrOS, designed to act as a substitute for Windows 95/98 and NT. Unlike Linux and other competitors, the company said, PetrOS will be able to seamlessly run 32-bit Windows applications.This will offer a smooth changeover and let the company aggressively go after the workstation market, said Simon Milburn, U.S. manager for Trumpet. Even if the company only managed to get a 1 percent market share in workstations, Milburn said, it would consider PetrOS successful.
PetrOS' main marketing advantage, Milburn added, is speed. Its kernel only takes up about 100 kilobytes.
