We do not run any OS on the e-Gap appliance 

So how does it boot, then?

Any computer, to be useful, runs some kind of an operating system.
It may be a program you wrote, or it may be a program someone
else wrote, but if it walks like an operating system and quacks like
an operating system, then it's an operating system.

The question is not "is there an operating system?" but "is the
operating system any good?"    There are too many technically
sophisticated readers on this list to get away with the kind of
blanket assertions you're making. Perhaps that's one of the reasons
you're finding your marketing message is rubbing people the
wrong way.
