A troll might ask, "Why not just use DOS? It was ring-0-only and
single-address-map." Actually, they wouldn't because many people would say,
"Cool idea! I'm gonna dust-off DOS right now and have some fun!" DOS is 16-bit
with segmentation, though, which is awful. TempleOS is 64-bit, flat,
non-segmented and multi-cored. It's like a modern, souped-up, multi-tasking,
cross between DOS and a Commodore 64. It has a C64-like shell with Holy C, a
dialect of C/C++, instead of BASIC. It was written from scratch, and not even
ASCII was sacred -- it has 8-bit unsigned character source code to support
European languages. Also, the source code has graphics.
