Yes.  It is impressive and I'll probably grab a copy of the OS when
it becomes available for download.  However, if you read through
the documentation on the floppy you'll see that while the software
fits on the 1.44M disk it actually uses several MB of RAM when running
because it loads everything off the disk, decompresses it, and then
runs from RAM only (it doesn't access the floppy anymore).

Most IIgs computers have only 1-2MB of real RAM to work with.  Still,
the idea might be possible on a smaller scale. (?)

So many potentially cool projects, so little free time! :(
