Hi, Almost right. An operating system is a special program that allows a computer to function. Windows CE (and others) is just an operating system. KeySoft is a collection of programs that allows BrailleNote to function right. I think you might have been describing what's called a library or a driver when writing about KeySoft... But at least you got almost everything right though... Cheers, Joseph

Here are my understandings of three of the majors, absent Google or any look-up: (1) Operating System: Instructions installed by the manufacturer deep within the computer (BrailleNote) as its central brain. (2) Windows 3: Standard operating system, (brain) for mobile devices such as "personal digital assistants" (original being the Palm Pilot) cell phones, and purchased by Humanware from Microsoft for BraillNote. (3) Keysoft: That part of the operating system, brain, written by Humanware and owned by Humanware, permitting braille input or braille output.
