I remember the QNX Demo on a 1.44 MB floppy disk. It booted straight into a full blown window manager and had a basic web browser. That was 1999 and I never saw anything like that afterwards.

Would that even fit the unicode tables today?

Wow! I never heard of them. KolibriOS looks promising.

I got the same feeling, whey I saw it first time. How they fit GUI, drivers all that stuff in 1.44MB.

The first time I booted menuet OS (2005? high school?) I was absolutely floored at how capable (and decent looking) an OS that lives entirely on a 1.44mb floppy could be.
