It is possible that it is real, but it's VERY VERY likely that it's a joke.

To all who believe still believe this news article: IT'S APRIL FOOLS DAY  You seriously believe ANY news articles today? Today is the day you're supposed to play pranks on people. A few years ago Google said they were going to colonize Mars. It was a very serious article, but posted on April 1st.  Just play a prank on someone else today and continue the tradition!

It's easy enough to modify an OS if you know what you are doing. They could write anything and say it was from TI. Here in the US, if something crazy happens on April 1st, it is almost CERTAINLY a joke. And yeah, it's a great joke. 9 pages of response so far... And no DJ_O to be seen.

Speaking of April Fools jokes, I just got a bag of Cheetos in my lunch that had been filled with carrots. 
now that's funny. are u sure TI didn't pack ur lunch?
Nah, it wasn't TI because the Cheetos were packed in another bag at the bottom. TI would've just left two Cheetos in the original bag and filled the rest of the space with carrots.

I'm sure they are laughing. Speaking of April Fools jokes, I just got a bag of Cheetos in my lunch that had been filled with carrots.

I still think this is TI's idea of a sick joke.
I think it's Omnimaga's idea of a sick joke.

If it had happened any other day of the year, I would believe it. But crazy news articles on April 1st are pretty hard to believe, no matter what the story.

Wow. If this isn't an April Fools Day joke, it really sucks for those who like to have the newest OS.

I'm kind of overwhelmed with information, so just making sure...
This is an ndless program that launches a boot2. Yes You still must have TI's os installed to run this. Yes The boot2 is running on top of TI's os. That, or it's restarting the calc using the custom boot2(Meaning the original OS is no longer running).(I'm not really sure which) There is currently no way to automatically launch your own boot2 / os when the calculator starts up. True.

Thank you very much for that informative post! Now I have some research to do

If the OS is not compressed/encrypted (TNC/TNO files), you can just launch it directly like any program.
Launch directly like renaming to .tns and opening as any ndless program, or launch like diagslauncher/boot2launcher by loading into ram and directly executing? So all that is really needed to run an OS directly is to decrypt the image? (Does boot2 do that or does the OS do that as it loads?) If you ran them that way, would you lose the extra files included in the compressed image? (all the /phx stuff (is that folder any different for the CAS and basic nspire?)) Could you obtain a decompressed copy of the OS from nspire_emu as it is running, or would you need to look inside boot2? Hot-patching the OS in RAM before launching it seems necessary.
Are you referring to an uncompressed and unencrypted OS image file launched in the same way as diagslauncher/boot2launcher? If so, what functions would need to be patched and why? (Or is this not a suitable topic) And who made RunOS? The only info I could find on it was that video posted on youtube. Sorry for all the endless questions...

Wow! I assume you would still need a modified boot2 to load a modified OS? Is anyone working on that?

That's why we should not force the installation of the OS we want to lauch, but run it over another Ndlessed OS.
How do you run a "Special" OS over an Ndlessed OS with boot2launcher?

This doesn't really "hack" anything new. You can't save changes to the OS with this.
All this is is an alternate method of loading boot2. Boot2 verifies the OS on every boot. You can't change boot2, because boot1 checks it before running it on every boot. This just loads boot2 without booting the calculator, thus avoiding the the boot1 check of boot2. This does nothing permanent.
If you use this to load a modified OS, (because boot2 checks the OS, so if you manage to modify boot2 you don't need a signed OS) when you restart the calc you will either get the same ndlessless OS you had before, or the calc won't boot at all because the installed os isn't signed. This would be a MAJOR pain in the a** if you just wanted, say, cas on a regular nspire. You would need to re-install the OS twice every reboot to get cas back.
I am not sure which of those two possibilities is correct, though.

Maybe built in ndless. No more reinstalling.
What do you mean by this?
