There isn't much to the site that actually describes what V2 is, or does, or
how it accomplishes or wishes to accomplish what it wants done, or much of
anything other than “Hey! The Internet as you know it is dead! And we're the
ones that are going to replace it with our cool technology! Please donate!”

There's even less here than at the website of the fastest proprietary 80x86
based operating system [1] (at least at the time, you got something that
booted [2]), and from the looks of things, V2_OS [3] (I doubt there's a
relation between the two, but you never know) it failed to take the Internet
by storm (in the seven years since I first linked to it).
They have some lofty goals (““It will eventually cut your taxes because
government will be streamlined and a lot more efficient in utilizing and
administering its resources.””) but until I see something more substantial
(“show me something!”) I personally don't see this going anywhere fast.
