	There have been numerous TOS replacements and additions released throughout the lifecycle of TOS itself, and into the 2000's. TOS is actually a collection of components, and alternatives vary in the scope of what they replace. There are replacements of the VDI components which speed up the graphical operations of any TOS instance they are applied to (eg [[NVDI]]). There are also replacements of the desktop and interface look and feel (eg [[NeoDesk]]), replacements of the kernel only (eg [[MINT Operating System\|MiNT]]), or indeed replacements that do replace the entire set of TOS components (eg [[~~EmuTos~~]]).
