Iris OS Eco Edition

Iris OS Eco Edition is a newer version of the Iris OS family, released in December 2009 (RTM). This version has tweaked performance configurations, mainly because its slogan is "More fast. More reliable." It is available for devices with a Pentium-class processor or newer. The irisEco was made on this OS's RTM date. The OS came with LibreOffice, since the OS was designed for "minimalist home working". This version of Iris OS had sold 12,300,000 copies in its first 2 months of general release, and 47 million more in 5 years. When it's mainstream support ended, eco2 was released with a PIXO Slim user interface. In 2015, the kernel has been renamed to just irisKernel to avoid confusion with Windows NT, even though the kernel is based around iriSoft's proprietary kernel.

Planning of Eco Edition began all the way back to May 2, 2008, where some people at IriSoft talked about making a operating system that can run fast on lower specs. The first beta build, known as "Iris OS Codename Daytona Developer Release" was released on June 1, 2008, and was based on Iris OS NEXT, with the codename ripped from a codename for a Microsoft Windows version. It was codenamed "Daytona" after the Daytona International Speedway because it could run fast on lower specs, just like Chromium OS.
