What exactly is XSOS and what are its goals?

[nn_step]

XSOS is an operating System, much like Linux and windows
The current goal is to provide a DRM free Gaming platform

[Knight]

Do you use XP drivers?

Sounds like just what I've been looking for as I have no intention of using Vista with all its DRM crap

Very vistaesque I like it . Just ordered Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit and have a spare partition waiting for you nn

[erwinz]

nice.. cant wait to test this..

[Otaking71]

64 bit...32bit..or both?

[phi|os]

The people demand to know...WHEN!!!???

[Kingcarcas]

ZOMG! i'm so excited, i bought a cheap rig just to test this and it's on the way

when it is ready, unless you prefer a rushed unfinished and crude Version that may not be perfect. In which case, you probably might as well buy windows ME

Gah ME was terrible.
Take your time man it's looking very promising
I'm impressed that you are already getting there with a vista release it's not even publically available yet!
I'm guessing that a full purchased ver of vista is required before running this?
Keep us posted

Speaking of Looks, does anyone here think we should Change the GUI up and make it look different?

Only if it improves usability. Changing it just for the heck of it doesn't seem very useful.

[NapalmV5]

drm free!
trash free!
$ free!

nice!

cant wait to give it a try.. wud to like to see how much faster than my winxp..

when available to the masses?

leave it like this for the best performance and minimal ram usage, and let every user choose whatever he prefers

actually the changes I was suggesting are cosmetic, since some people seem to think it is "too plain"

[dinos22]

Dx10?

[nn_step]

Yes this OS fully supports DX10 Natively

[dinos22]

oh goodie

can't wait for DRM free OS

Personally, I want a stable, performant OS, if I want to look at something "nice" I'll hang a picture with some naked chicks on it on my wall

Well I'm glad I don't belong to those people, I've used the default blue background and haven't done any changes to the appearence for like 1 years+ in Win XP. Before that there was a period I used to use Astonshell which is a nice featurerich and especially light on system resources (well better than the original windows shell manager at least) but nowadays I'm too lazy to care about the appearence of the OS, I only want as light system resource usage, yet fully functional OS.

I don't think cosmetics are that important for XSOS, that's not the main goal with this OS, you can always customize yourself afterwards if you require a sexy looking OS. But of course you can do lots of changes to the appearence that doesn't impact on performance the slightest and those are of course welcome.

So what drivers does this OS use, XP, Vista? I really hope I'll be able to use this OS 24/7 cuz it's exactly the OS I'm looking for, nonbloated, DRM-free, as lightweight as possible yet very functional. Makes me sick when I look at the size Vista requires on your OS partition, I only use a 10GB C: partition and an OS that won't fit fine on that is a very bloated OS IMO.

[newls1]

how do I get this? Sounds freaing great to have an OS that doesnt include all the BS

[Fr3ak]

XSOS 3.0 is one of the main things I am really excited about in '07 One other thing is K8L and its mainboards.

Looks already really nice nn. Is it a stripped down version (featurewise) or does it just lack what nobody needs?

I guess you didnt make it worse than previous XSOS, so it will be more than great.

Looks good but same q as above.
