In the typical computer world (the one you're familiar with), OSes are not NOW associated with the computer. When you power your system up it has no OS beyond the BIOS. That's what booting does: installs an OS and gives it control. The reason people associate the OS with the machine these days is because it's installed on a hard drive that is set to boot if nothing else does, either automatically or by user intervention. If you removed your hard drive and put in another with another OS, you would have another OS on your machine.
Theoretically, you could put your OS into non-volatile memory and never have to boot, just initialize. Be a hell of a shot for whatever kind of ROM or core of whatever you decided to use, though. It's done all the time in the embedded world, where the OS is minimal.

The point is you contribute trash. That's my personal opinion, sure. The other point is you keep sniping. You are one of those unknowledgeable types that didn't come to learn, but to propagate your ignorance in an attempt to bolster your self-esteem. See your comments in this very thread. You've made that eminently clear. You didn't even understand a positive response when you got one. And not only from me, from Toro, also.
