MenuetOS builds are prepared for 64-bit x86 systems and can be run under QEMU. Basic system assembly which usually takes 1.4 MB. The project's source code is distributed under a modified MIT license, which requires approval for any commercial use. The new release offers new gaming and demo applications, and a new screen saver has been added.

The system supports preemptive multitasking, uses SMP on multi-core systems, and provides a built-in graphical user interface with support for themes, Drag&Drop operations, UTF-8 encoding, and keyboard layout switching. To develop applications in assembler, we offer our own integrated development environment. There is a network stack and drivers for Loopback and Ethernet interfaces. Supported by work with USB 2.0, including USB drives, printers, DVB tuners and web cameras. AC97 and Intel HDA (ALC662/888) are supported for audio output.

The project develops a simple HTTPC web browser, mail and ftp clients, ftp and http servers, applications for viewing images, editing texts, working with files, watching videos, playing music. It is possible to run a DOS emulator and games such as Quake and Doom. Separately developed multimedia player, written exclusively in assembly language and does not use external libraries with codecs.
