In the beginning when we started the project, we didn't have in the
mind that xyz system has aaa defects and we will be making the better
system than that by removing its defects.

It was started as a hobby and to gain some knowledge and today we have
an aim of creating fulling working OS... an Open Source OS project.
 
But infact MACH from CMU have few defects. The major defect is in the
IPC. If you have looked in the Internals of the port architecture of
Mach, you might have noticed its complexity.

Our IPC is very simple and Fast. we have also used some techniques to
reduce the no of IPC in File IO/Device IO. There are other features
like Microkernel itself has POSIX interface so UNIX emulation is
unnecessary.

MOST important is that we are now starting to make it Realtime. A
wonderful system called Embeddable POSIX. Thanks to the Hardware
Contribution by MR Per-Tore Aasestrand of Norway.
