Ramlal Bhagat, a XII std. student from Haryana, has developed a 32-bit operating system demonstrated to be far superior to any of the desktop operating systems in the market today. The program has been named "O-Yes". O-Yes provides operating system services on any Pentium-based personal computer (PC) and does not require MS-DOS as a base operating system. The operating system's capabilities were demonstrated in a student convention at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi. HCL Ltd. conducted benchmarks on the system and published results, which are partly reported here:
* O-Yes is 34% faster than Microsoft's Windows 95 on similar hardware. * It is 29% faster than IBM's OS/2. * O-Yes loads 54% quicker than Windows 95 or OS/2. * O-Yes has a customizable, user-friendly graphical User Interface (GUI), in which every program can be accessed with a maximum of two button clicks. * The operating system provides plug n play capability with numerous hardware devices. * It has a superior memory management function. * The operating system is compatible with Windows 95&Windows NT 4.0. HCL, Ltd. has offered an unknown amount to Ramlal Bhagat for purchasing the rights to the software. Ramlal Bhagat, described as "quiet and philosophical" by his peers, was not available for comment. Suresh Reddy, spokesman for HCL Ltd.,said, "this is the operating system that the world has been waiting for". On HCL's move to purchase the rights to the software, he said, "We are here to ensure that Mr. Ramlal gets fair recognition and compensation for his innovation. HCL Ltd. can provide him a firm launch-pad to market software globally". Is this the beginning of the end of the Bill Gates' monopoly? Ramlal Bhagat will be featured on NDTV on September 10, 2004. ===== ......and in Google lies the answer! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
