Well, I found this a couple of days ago, forget to share it, what are your thoughts about this?

Well it could become useful to some people (he at least uses it)
"I used it to day to format an SD card"

My first thought is 'Why?'........ but it is a cool project at least.

Its 2 hour boot time is a bit slow for me......

Could just fire up an old PDP-11 to relive the 2 hour boot-up experience.

Geez . Attempt any windows emulation on a low-end Cortex and i will guarantee you 3 hour startups .

Some older versions (95 or even 98 I think) can boot on Dosbox on Nokia N95, not the most recent piece of hardware.

Yes . Ala 1995 . 332 MHz Dual ARM 11 is still more then what a Cortex has .
But in any case , man , it's a joke !
Cortex is meant to be a cheap and useful ARM core that can do alot of things cheap 32bit mcp's usually can't do .
And honestly , the pic32MX is a fail .
