		JavaOS implements the JVWM and the underlying functionality for windowing, networking, and file system, without requiring the support of a host operating system.
		The JavaOS is different is some way, such as not needing a file system, VM, support for more than one programming language.

	JavaOS
		JavaOS is a small and efficient operating environment developed by JavaSoft that allows Java applications to run directly on hardware platforms without requiring a host operating system.
		The goal of JavaOS is to enable the development of secure, high performance, and highly robust, intelligent, and dynamic network devices built on multiple hardware platforms in heterogeneous, distributed networks.
		JavaOS benefits from being written in Java: new components can be developed for it faster because Java code is easier to debug, is inherently portable, and is dynamically extensible.

		While we will have to wait before it is known if support for the JavaOS will happen, it is possible to examine the prospects of this new Operating System and make some speculations.
		If you think that the earlier coverage of native code in the JavaOS was meant to be broad enough to cover devise drivers, you are - suprisingly - incorrect (for the most part).
		It should be noted that "Tiny" does not indicate a tiny level of support, but rather indicates that a tiny-er stress level is put on the hardware by the AWT.

		JavaOS is bootable from ROM, flash memory, a hard drive, a floppy disk, or the network.
		Booting JavaOS from the network ensures that the most current core OS image is loaded to the client, but it increases network traffic.

		Following an earlier announcement of JavaOS for Consumers at JavaOne 98 last week, Sun aims to top off its recent release of the JavaStation family with an operating system that solves some of the issues encountered with the original JavaOS for NCs.
		JavaOS has been in the making for almost two years now, according to Troy Toman, Group Marketing Manager for JavaOS, in a recent interview with JavaWorld.
		In approximately six months, the JavaOS team was able to create a second version of the OS based upon the Chorus microkernel to replace the existing one written in Java, and implemented only the PersonalJava specification.

		In lieu of this development, IBM officials added that they plan to more aggressively pursue a strategy of placing a version of the JVM on a number of existing operating systems such as Windows Terminal, Linux and their own proprietary operating systems such as the OS/400.
		Another reason for abandoning the JavaOS for Business project was the lack of an industry-standard browser to use with the would-be operating system.

		The JavaOS will be able to deliver company information to customers using set-top boxes and kiosks no matter what kind of chip they are using," he said.
		Although its penetration will be limited on NCs, and it will not compete against PC operating systems, it may find a niche as an operating system for embedded systems, such as kiosks in shops, according to CSL's Longbottom.
