We will create a 32-bit PC OS with preemptive multitasking.  We will
be 'Object-Oriented', and that will set us apart from Linux, etc.

It will be easier to extend MOOSE than it is to extend other OSs.  I
think fare answered this to my satisfaction; I won't explain here.

Typed, but can be overridden.

Include an assembler; that should be enough.

Yes.

machine:PID

> c) Objects Classes.

Huh?  Explain what you mean by this.
