We all have our own favourites, usually there the ones, we are most familiar with using.
I have made my OS from the ground up to be good for electronic projects.
eg: i have written a program for my OS in less than 1k to fully control a old furby, by using the IR on a laptop (new furby do not use IR anymore).
Thanks for your input.
PS: If any of you are needing to control a project by PC, maybe you will give Dex4uOS a look.
Well, if it is to be good for controlling electronics projects, I assume that it has built in support for parallel port, serial port AND USB? Keep in mind, these peripheral controls are already supported by Windoze & Linux, it's not clear why someone would go and write new code for your OS in these circumstances.
You say that your OS is designed for speed. How is that so? What is the speed problem that Wintel PC's have today that your OS solves? That wasnt really clear on your website.
You appear to be a very skilled ASM programmer. I am not a programmer so here is my non-programmer view (a large part of your target audience)
This is honest and not meant to offend you or your OS in any way.
1) If I have to do more work on DEV4UOS, it has to be because it is better in some way or solves some very significant problem, otherwise, why would I bother changing from mainstream where there is _mountains_ of support & information available?
2) It has to be very easy to get up and running (looks like your install & setup accomplishes this very well)
3) For controlling electronics, If I have to write ANY assembler - forget it! It doesnt matter to me if the code size is 1 byte!!! I dont want to learn assembler when I can do simple stuff MUCH easier in Visual Basic for a windows PC. You might say, well, that's just my hate of assembler. I dont hate it. I'd learn it if I needed to but the need never arises! The need never arises for 99% or more of the people trying to control electonics. Keep it in mind. Can I run VB on DEVOS?
4) Tell me what it can do that I can't already do with an OS. Faster doing what? Why would that be important to me? If I made a DVD player that could operates faster, would anyone want it? There is no need. How is it faster? The screen shots of your website don't show anything of significance in my opinion..??
Don't get me wrong, I applaud people like you giving others alternatives! You and your team did a great job and learned alot I'm sure with this interesting project. I just struggle to see why anyone would change to it.
