Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting a virtual operating system on a display device are provided. In some implementations, a method for presenting a virtual operating system user interface (Virtual OS UI) is provided, the method comprising: receiving a request to provide the virtual OS UI for a display coupled to a media receiving device; selecting applications; generating the virtual OS UI including the applications; causing the media receiving device to present the virtual OS UI on the display; receiving signals from a remote control to select a second application; executing the second application; causing the media receiving device to present the second application on the display; receiving signals from the remote control to select media content; causing the media receiving device to request the selected media content; and causing the media receiving device to present the requested media content using the display.
