My friend met the Japanese professor who started the project!!! He's an old man. He said the project's development duration is 100 year!

He also mentioned that the OS is already in use in Japan especially in small electronics devices. He gave an example about a real product. The product is about a chip that is put inside the toilet and when a person excretes, the sensors analysis the feces. Then the chip sends the data to the doctor and to the PDA and if there are any problems, it arranges an appointment for the person!!!!!!!
Cool right?

BTW it's an open source OS.

At one point, BTRON had a chance of becoming a popular desktop operating system in Japan. In 1989 the Japanese company Matsushita released an Intel-based PC with the BTRON operating system. Though it only had an Intel 80286 processor with 2 MB of RAM, the system could render color video in a separate window. The Japanese government planned to introduce the Matsushita PC in its schools, but the United States government objected, claiming that the plan constituted market intervention and threatening Japan with sanctions (partly at the request of Microsoft). (It should be noted, however, that although the Macintosh computer was very popular in American schools during the same time frame, that did not make it the dominant desktop computing platform in America.)

...It's not an actuall "OS" for your computer, as much as it is for small devices.

I'd be very weary of TRON.

I was once playing the arcade and it sucked me into the game with a laser beam that digitized my body molecules into it's RAM. I was then forced to play a bunch of levels to save my own life and escape...

As of 2003, the TRON system (or more specifically the ITRON derivative) is one of the world's most used operating systems[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_Project#cite_note-1), being present in millions of electronic devices. The operating system is mainly used by Japanese companies, although interest in its use is growing worldwide.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_Project
