The confusion is due to one of my posts. AdaOS is *NOT* attempting to be an
NT clone. I used the term "replacement" in the sense that AdaOS would be an
alternative OS for PCs & Workstations (and Servers?). This as opposed to an
RTOS, embedded executive or other form of OS. (Linux could be said to be an
NT "replacement" in the same sense.)

Hope this clears things up before Nick Roberts, et alia, all get upset that
AdaOS is being mischaracterized.
