Milk

milk (formerly known as MilkOS) was a fan-fiction operating system made by Chessie. It was introduced in 2019 as the successor of ZaphkielOS and fireytheorange's OranquoiseOS. When he left the community, MilkOS was discontinued. The future of milk is uncertain, as he has not stated anything about it yet.

Fictional History
milk began a small project in Microsoft, based on the early Windows 1.0-3.0 kernel. It brought some extra features designed for power-users of the time, similar to those in NT. However, due to instability problems brought up by the old operating architecture, Microsoft killed off the project in 1992 to merge it's features with other projects like Cairo.

In late 1999, milk's trademark was bought by another company with intents to finish it. Since then it has passed through several divisions and corporations until the final version was released in February 2019, under flooentcorporation. The base kernel was rewrote partially with inspirations from ReactOS. This meant that Microsoft's copyright mark was still shown on the bootscreen until the total rewrite of the kernel in April 2019 Update, which is now based on Linux.

milk hasn't recieved an update since the March 2020 Update. March 2020 Update brought up more improvements such as it's own Milk Framework for running applications with higher performance and with easier API protocols. However, milk dropped the "Month Update" name from it's product (although it's commonly still reffered like that) and since then milk has just recieved incremental security and stability updates. The company states that it does not intent to pull a monthly release anymore due to the constant pressure for their programmers to release it every month.

History
The first version of MilkOS was revealed in February 2019. miu says that it was inspired by his cat, which goes by the same name. Since then, he has occasionally revealed a new milk bootscreen.

In March 2, 2020, miu releases the "milk Kit". It is later discontinued at November 18, 2020.
