TRON Chip

I found this very intersting. :) What a tiny chip… unless that’s just a big thumb. :)

“Tokyo University professor Ken Sakamura shows a microprocessor chip which runs on TRON, an operating system he developed nearly 20 years ago. TRON has become the most widely used operating system, even more so than Microsoft’s Windows, having claimed the dominant share as the basic software for microprocessors used in digital gadgets. Had Sakamura decided to charge even one cent to each user of TRON, he would easily be a dollar billionaire by now. “
