'''Altimit OS''' is a ] in the universe of the ] series. Altimit is portrayed as a very stable OS, described as "Virtually immune to all ]". As such, Altimit OS was the only OS unaffected by the Pluto's Kiss virus, which caused widespread cyber-chaos and rendered Altimit the only practically usable OS, the catalyst for the .hack universe's stories. Altimit OS also runs '']'', the only surviving ]. Its name is a pun on the English word ''ultimate''. |

By the year 2017, Altimit OS was replaced by '''Altimit Mine OS'''. |
|
|

|
|
Altimit OS was supposedly created by ], with headquarters in ], ], ]. |

==The World== |
|
|
|
|
|
In the .hack universe, ''The World'', the ']' or most popular application on Altimit OS (Indeed, the only game seen on it) was released in December ]. ''The World'' was the first online game available ever since the Pluto's Kiss incident. Millions of copies were downloaded the first month alone. By ], more than 20 million players joined the game. |
|
|
|
|
|
''The World'' began its life as a prototype called ''Fragment''. With time, it evolved into ''The World''. Some Altimit OS programmers quit their jobs in Altimit to join the development crew of ''The World''. Later, the ] (CC Corp.) was founded. This company later released the game and manages content. |

==Known Features== |
|
|
|
|
|
Although ''The World'' (a native Altimit OS application) is a full 3D-world that immerses the gamer into the gameplay, no VR-gloves are used, just ]s. |
|
|
|
|
|
Altimit OS is seen to run on a variety of platforms, presumably built to run it after the Pluto's Kiss incident. |
|
|
|
|
|
A basic Altimit OS includes a ] reader. |
|
|
|
|
|
As seen in '']'', a larger ] address space is used by ''The World'', and other Altimit OS applications, with addresses like 295.252.352.436.325 supported. IP can be assumed to have been re-written, as Altimit OS is the only OS in the .hack world. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Remarks== |
|
|
The idea of a single, secure and universal OS has been attempted several times in computer history. Some include ], ] or ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, the underlying philosophy of Altimit OS is a mix of past, present, and (likely) future operating systems. Some GUI concepts are drawn from ] desktop environments, such as ] or ]. GUI "eye candy" effects are very close to the ] engine found in ] incarnations (icon animation and resizing). The simplicity of the desktop is reminiscent of the now discontinued ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
In short, Altimit OS could be what the '']'' authors consider "the perfect ]," a computer utopia that cannot be reached with current hardware and software designs. |

The '''Altimit Corporation''' is credited for the development of the Altimit OS operating system in the ] franchise. Eventually many programmers left Altimit to create the ], which later released '']'' to the public. ''The World'' is the first online game since the Pluto's Kiss, developed by a German programmer called ]. |

For promotion of the upcoming US release of .hack//G.U. vol. 2 Reminisce, an Affinitive (which is a viral marketing company hired by companies such as BandaiNamco) site called Altimit Corp. has been re-launched. It was first opened at the end of July in 2006. |
