Atomic OS -- A real web OS written in Javascript

What's bigger than a framework? An Operating System. While many of the Ajax OS's that bill themselves as Operating Systems are nothing more than a pretty desktop metaphor, there is at least one project that aims to build an Ajax OS from the ground up: Atomic OS. It has a ROM and a Kernel and build itself up much like a real operating system on real hardware. The only difference is that everything is written in Javascript. It's interesting what happens when OS design principles are applied to the browser.

It's still under development. If you want an early taste, you can look at it's predecessor, WAJAX. That's already pretty impressive, so I look forward to Atomic OS.
