LoseThos is a 64-bit supplemental (like insurance) operating system for a niche -- programming as entertainment. It is not a Windows wannabe. The envisioned usage model is like that of a classic Apple II or Commodore 64. It has no security and allows full access to memory, I/O ports and all assembly instructions from your programs. Now, the average programmer has rights normally restricted to system programmers. What's more entertaining as a programmer than tinkering with kernal ideas or playing around with multicore? I suppose you can write games, but I like system programming. It's a way simpler operating system than others and unlike Linux, the average person can understand the code.

    Totally cool. This is for geeks, not for morons. Go whine somewhere else.

    Weird and indecipherable. Don't try this at home. Home Planet, that is !
    Only illegal aliens -space aliens- know how it works ...even ~they~ can't
    run it !

    The PC Rat recommends they finish their bottle of Jack Daniels, and go
    to bed.

    Interesting, but weird. Too steep a learning curve for all but a few geeks. Even when you learn it, it's not something you would use every day unless coding is your passion.

    The author is obviously talented, and should spend his time helping out on the ReactOS project. At least the end product will be useful to millions of people, not just a few geeks.

    4 stars for originality.
