They've already made several.

So what's on their systems now is considered an OS and this is nothing new?

This is nothing new, a system in order to operate needs an OS.

What I meant was is there anything new about this specific software that suggests it 's anything different that what they've done in the past?

No, not from a quick glance. It's just the instructions for using an existing system OS. Putting it another way, what were you hoping for? An OS for the PC? Or an open Windows/Linux like OS for Wii that allows people to run programs? Neither is very likely!

Seems like it actually is a native x86 operating system, which executes ECMAScript.

I was just curious.
