According to Bengt Eliasson himself, he did not write the original kernel. In fact, he was sceptical as to whether message passing was a good approach due to lack of performance. A colleague however (don't know who) wrote a proof-of-concept kernel in two weeks which convinced Eliasson. They used this code to further develop what would later become OSE in 1985.

OSE was also originally intended to be named OSX, but the trademark was already in use. Instead, starting from OSA the final suggestion adopted was OSE. Originally, this was not an acronym but the result of enumerating OS*-combinations.
