JavaOS is the Java language ported directly to that hardware,
No added functionality. So if it isn't need to run a java application
it isn't on the system, so if you're on a WinNT or a Unix system
and write in Java you can use the Native interfaces to access
capablities on the underlying system but with JavaOS there
is *NO* underlying system so .... 100% Pure Java.

Benifits: Faster system (or smaller depending on how you look at it)
Penalty: Fewer services
