 * Delete, no showing of encyclopedic significance. Full text: PetrOS - Commercial, 32-bit operating system, develop by Trumpet Software. Under premise was to be compatible from Microsoft Windows 95 but than version 1.0 can just run application win32 in TUI. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:22, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete  No references except to the developers' web site; no evidence, or even claim, of notability. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non notable software. No verifiability to sustain its maintenance or existence on wikipedia. Eduemoni↑talk↓  21:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Numerous Google News searches didn't provide much and there really isn't much about the product such as when it was released. A Google News search with "PetrOS software Tattam" provided three results from 10+ years ago and a different search here provided another link (Polish, Monitor - novice - Operacijski sistem, združljiv z Windowsom). The osnews.com link from the first search mentions the parent company's director, Peter Tattam, who was the architect for PetrOS. Even the non-English links are brief paragraphs and nothing detailed but I'm happy to reconsider if other users find better links. SwisterTwister   talk  01:33, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, I already "PROD'ed" the article a few weeks ago. <small style="font: 12px Courier New; color: #000000; display:inline;border:#009 1px dashed;padding:1px 3px 1px 4px;background-color:#fff">mabdul 17:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - My first experience connecting to the internet was in '95 using Windows 3.11, Netscape and Trumpet Winsock; the latter is from Peter Tattam, the same creator of the aforementioned PetrOS (as stated inside the OSNews interview discovered by User:SwisterTwister). According to a blog post from Peter himself (see ) and the official forum of Tattam Software Enterprises (see ), PetrOS is undergoing an heavy re-factory and is now called ClassiOS, but is far from being usable or complete. Since OSNews coverage (dated back the end of 2001, see and also ), PetrOS / ClassiOS never reached notability, neither media coverage (oppositely to ReactOS which shares the same goals), hence is not worth keeping on Wikipedia. Maybe a bio about Peter Tattam could have the chance of standing on its own merits, due to extensive media coverage, but not an article about PetrOS / ClassiOS.
