Seemed like a good idea when they first got it out. It seems now like it was soo long ago.

Maybe it is interesting for embedded devices, but seems they've lost their purpose. It was never meant for business, but again, what's the point?

You're reading this on a site called "Hacker News" and you have to ask that? How about: the challenge.

There is a difference between a challenge that is of use for this world, and a challenge just because.

I don't see technological, logical, or knowledge progress in the attempt to write complete OS in assembly (anymore). I've done it myself, in high school, just for fun, a 16bit. That is also when MenuetOS came out. Now I spend my time more wisely. I've actually went on doing things that benefit the society the technology and the users.

Not that menuetOS is bad, but I suggest they reorient them selves so that there is that usable part. And I can see space for it, in embedding computing f.i. Far from having no respect for their work, which I have my hands in from day one.
