OSBlue (sometimes called OSBlue System V) is a Unix-based operating system developed by OS/Corp. OSBlue is the main operating system used on OS/Corp's products. While OSBlue is mainly designed to run on OS/Corp's own products, any PC or server that fits the minimum requirements should be able to run it well.

OSBlue is one of the few Unix systems built for both home and enterprise use. It is popular in the server market.

Features & Differences from standard Unix

OSBlue is compatible with Unix software, but it is different from stock Unix in a few ways. OSBlue does not use Common Desktop Environment as the default GUI, as other well-known Unix systems have done; instead, it uses the proprietary OSBlue Desktop System, developed specifically for OSBlue. The desktop is not based on X Window System, but is compatible with X applications.

OSBlue also has its own way of managing applications as well; it is comparable to the way Mac OS applications are handled. Applications may be bundled into a single file so that they can be installed or removed more easily; this works similarly to AppImage.

OSBlue contains OS/Corp's own Internet Expressway browser, which is only available for OSBlue and OSi.
