More to the point, you don't want any OS on an 8 bit machine.
A small driver library, maybe. But really, 8 bit machines today are
just for fun little micro-control projects and you really don't want
an OS in the way.
The first thing I did to make an arduino useful was reclaim the timer
thread that the arduino "OS" steals from you...
