Remilia Scarlet Posted June 3, 2003 I was looking at a website and came across an operating system being designed in Japan by a man named Professor Ken Sakamura. The OS is called TRON, and from what I read, it's open source, and can go into any sort of chip. The website I read this on (available here) said, "These are just two of the reasons why TRON is installed in most Japanese-made cellphones and digital cameras, as well as in many other electronic products, such as audio-visual devices, rice cookers, air conditioners, fax machines, karaoke machines, and car-engine control devices." It's an open-source OS, and I hear it moves data extremly fast. The T-Engine website (part of TRON) listed something about having boards that are made for TRON that accept chips like the ARM7 and SH3-DSP. The site for the OS is tron.org So, if (or when) this gets into the PCs, what do you think will happen? And what do you think of this OS? 0 Share this post Link to post

Darkstalker Posted June 3, 2003 [Simpsons quote] Hibbert: Homer, this is your physician, Dr. Julius Hibbert. Can you tell us what it's like in there? Homer: Uh...it's like...did anyone see the movie "Tron"? Hibbert: No. Lisa: No. Marge: No. Wiggum: No. Bart: No. Patty: No. Wiggum: No. Ned: No. Selma: No. Frink: No. Lovejoy: No. Wiggum: Yes. I mean -- um, I mean, no. No, heh. [/Simpsons quote] 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted June 3, 2003 So, I'm guessing either no one knows of the OS, or aren't interested...lol 0 Share this post Link to post

Cyb Posted June 3, 2003 there's already an open source OS that runs on everything, it's called linux (and when I say everything, I mean everything, right down to XBox, Furby and Mr. Spell and Speak) 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted June 3, 2003 Uh, this blatantly isnt open source. Whoever wrote that article appears to be smoking crack. 0 Share this post Link to post
