   seems we two entered the OS-arena from opposite entries,   
   I started to write my OS on a paying clients demand ... :)   
      
   it never was a general purpose system, but successful solutions sold my   
   OS w/o any advertising. so I could deliver >200 individual tailored PCs.   
   Most earned money came from user desired applications rather than from   
   OS and hardware [I stopped all hardware production 1997].   
      
   all my guaranty and maintenance contracts end this year.   
   and because I couldn't buy main-boards w/o UEFI&GPT  I stopped working   
   on the OS as well.   
      
   just recently I was asked by long time clients to give it a try again,   
   I'm old, tired and I hate all bloatware BS, I started reading UEFI docs.   
   and I had to learn [hate that like pest] a bit C to convert this huge   
   document into technical readable RBIL styled short pages [in progress].
