| | Introduction | |
| | The Perception OS is an experimental operating system. All features within the operating system are experimental, from domain-based device management, to a whiteboard metaphore (alternative to the desktop metapore) interface. t is built around a micro-kernel - a concept where by to increase system stability all drivers and servers run with most of the same restrictions as standard programs.
Perception OS is yet to reach a stable enough state to be released.
