Hi, I am head of kernel development at Tao Systems (developers of Taos).

If anyone is interested, I can mail our introductory document. I would 
post it, but this is probably not the correct place.

Here is a brief summary of the main features, with most of the marketing 
blurb extracted:

*       Hardware Independence
*       Load-Balancing
*       Heterogeneous Parallel Processing
*       Dynamic Binding
*       Multi-Threading
*       Parallelism
*       Object Orientation
*       Asynchronous Messaging
*       "Nano"-Kernel

Taos provides all of the features of Java, but is many times more 
efficient than the current implementations of Java, due to the 
'translated' nature of Taos, compared to Java which is interpreted (at 
least in current implementations).

Because Taos VP is a machine level description, it can support compilers 
for any high level language. We currently have C and a multimedia BASIC 
(sorry) as well as our VP (virtual processor) assembler in which the 
entire system is implemented.

The processor families which we currently support include: ARM, MIPS, 
Transputer, PowerPC, Ix86 and Hitachi SH.

We are very keen to have other languages and systems ported to Taos, so 
if anyone out there is interested in porting their software to Taos, drop 
me a mail at daniel_shelton@tao.co.uk. Also drop me a mail if you are 
just interested to find out more information.
