Introducing UCSOS
Recently, new batch 'operating systems' have emerged from groups such as placekDEV. This has inspired the creation of UCSOS, a new GUI Flash based 'operating system' focused on using both skeuomorphism in its iconography and minimalism in its menus, made to compete against placekDOS which features only a Command Line for its interface. UCSOS will send placekDOS (lit. waffleDOS in English) straight back into the 80s with its beautiful and intuitive GUI.
Based upon the user interfaces and design philosophies from Symbian^3 and Windows 7, UCSOS features a beautiful and simple interface which has zero bugs provided your computer is connected to the internet.
Because ideally, the most user-friendly and stable operating system is one which has no settings to change. This beautiful simplicity and stability is what powers the idea of UCSOS, featuring light-speed operation on desktop computers and rich media functionality, while its coding is ultra minimal and is mostly made of images, this adds to its stability, speed and simplicity.

Wise Words
An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity. An idiot, anything the more complicated something he is the more he will admire it. If you make something so complicated, an idiot will think you are a god because you made something so complicated nobody can understand it.
