Exactly. But that's not what Jon tried to express, which is where this started. Of course "unit testing" isn't something new but neither is "serial debugging output" which is what we were really talking about. Like I said I know that at least ReactOS uses it and I'm going to judge based on encoded's disappointment in it not being included in SharpOS yet that the tinyKRNL team used it too. It seems rather ridiculous not to use it in fact, but there's lots to do and we haven't really had much desire for it until now too. > As to when "Cosmos was a twinkle in my eye", its likely before you were out > of primary school.
