High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cosmos is an open source operating system written in C#. It also encompasses a compiler (IL2CPU) for converting Common Intermediate Language (.NET) bytecode into native instructions. The operating system is compiled together with a user program and associated libraries using IL2CPU to create a bootable standalone native binary. The binary can be booted from a floppy disk, USB flash drive, CD-ROM, over the network using PXE booting, or inside a virtual machine. The currently supported architecture is x86, with more planned, and although the system is aimed at C#, it can be used with most .NET compliant languages (requirements are that the language must compile to pure CIL without using P/Invokes). Cosmos is primarily intended for use with Microsoft's .NET Framework, but Mono support is also in the works.
