 \section history History and Motivation
 
-BeRTOS was born as a collection of useful, highly optimized and fine-tuned
-libraries for embedded systems.  Each library had its own scope and could be
-used singularly in a project, though they were also meant to cooperate to
-build the whole underlying software layer commonly called "operating system".
+BeRTOS was born as a extremely modular, highly optimized and fine-tuned
+operating system for embedded programming.
+As a result, each module has its own scope and can be used alone or in
+cooperation with other modules.
+It's even possible to use most of the drivers without activating the kernel module.
 
 We have grown it following our guidelines: simplicity and beauty.
 These guidelines made it possible to evolve it in a full-featured real

-BeRTOS was born as a collection of reusable code snippets.
-In this perspective it was of primary importance that the code was reusable and well portable.

-So, although BeRTOS is primarily intended to be used with open source tools such as <A href="http://gcc.gnu.org">GCC</A>, it supports other compilers too. It is possible to develop with BeRTOS on Linux, Windows and Mac.

-BeRTOS features can be emulated under a Unix system, check DemoApp.
+BeRTOS features can be emulated on a common PC, check DemoApp.
 
 The emulator uses Qt to display emulated I/O devices in a window.  It supports task
