Msystems initiative was not to create an environment within flash that was self standing. Their initial goal was to take status quo operating systems and translate them into the flash environment while utilizing the same methods of overhead typical of the standard OS's.

rephrase:

Msystems initiative was not to create an environment within flash that was self standing. Their initial goal was to take status quo operating systems and translate their attributes and addressing into the flash environment, while utilizing the same methods of overhead typical of the standard OS's in tracking and maintaining virtual directive structures.

e.Digital does not maintain virtual directive structures for higher level OS's....for that, the overhead involved is removed.
