More to the point, you don't want any OS on an 8 bit machine. A small driver library, maybe. But really, 8 bit machines today are just for fun little micro-control projects and you really don't want an OS in the way. The first thing I did to make an arduino useful was reclaim the timer thread that the arduino "OS" steals from you...
