Did you mean to post that as a question in the forum of the article?

Cosmos include linux base kernel and boot loader, and also it`s provide SDK for developing, if you install vmware workstation plugin for visual studio you could compile your code and see what your os will do in Automated Virtual Machine

In a way, it's both. This is actually the open-source OS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_%28operating_system%29[^],
https://github.com/CosmosOS[^],
https://github.com/CosmosOS/Cosmos[^].

As you can see in CosmOS documentation and FAQ (http://cosmos.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FAQ[^]),

Cosmos FAQ says:

Cosmos runs on real hardware (and you can debug wtih a serial cable) as well as Vitual PC, HyperV, Virual Box and others. See Deployment.

…

Cosmos can run on physical hardware and can be deployed using optical media, PXE network boot, or a flash drive.

You can build the default CosmOS project without customization; and it is supposed to work. However, I did not try it yet. Do you want to try? I think the project is very important and interesting; I learned about it long time ago.
