has gloss | eng: Crypto Operating System (COS) was the development name of a Mac-compatible operating system supposedly developed by the German company Omega GmbH in the late 1990s. Omega caught the attention of technology media with impressive specifications and seemingly serious investor and consumer information, but the operating system was never demoed publicly. The company repeatedly pushed the release date forward, gaining a reputation as vaporware or hoax. Although never admitted, COS is now popularly believed never to have existed. |

has gloss | deu: Das Crypto Operating System (COS, nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Cray Operating System) war ein angeblich alternatives Betriebssystem für Apple Macintosh Computer. 1997 sollte COS abgesichert nach B2-Klassifikation, mit integriertem PGP-Client, auf den Markt kommen. Die damals tätige Firma, mit dem Namen Omega, produzierte allerdings nur den wahrscheinlich größten Fake in der Geschichte des Macintosh. |
