I know I made a lot of polls.

You're funny crazygray, you post on how to -execute- NASM.EXE (and how to use Windows's command line prompt ultimately

), where to find asm coders, why X and Y doesn't work, and why the hell doesn't make X the Y one. And now you come with a poll "how it does to make a OS", which has been discussed like 5000 times.

Not counting your beginner questions, which are present, and ALREADY ANSWERED in the FAQ.

It's not really the responses to the question I'm intrested in just the results.

There's no way to answer this question - any answer would be based off assumptions, different sets of assumptions would make other choices as likely as they are.

People like you are the reason why the poll feature was originally off, so I agree with os64 - this should be your last poll in a long time.

These polls are a bit dumb, we don't know what features the OS will have, how skilled you are in assembly, what experience you have with writing an OS, etc.

I mean, sure it's possible to write an entire working multitasking kernel with paging and loading executables off a FAT12 floppy disk, within 2 weeks if this is your 5th OS project and you have a lot of reference code. But trying something new always takes time.

Okay, I'll go with that.

hi

The poll is great it just misses the 1 year option.

Since 1/2 year is a bit short and 2 years is kinda long.

And it is also kinda deppendend on when u think the OS is finnished, since u can build forever in any langauge and still never be finished.

And also Asm might be a bit harder to write but still it aint that much different from c or cpp, etc. (Atleast thats my opinion.). It is just deppends on how u write your code.

Just in asm u might need to think a bit more about the low level stuf, then in c or cpp. But well that can be good since then u make less errors since u know exactly what it does and why your code does it. And in the end one's u did the low level stuf u can get on whit the higher level stuf, so in asm it might take a bit longer to get started.

How long would it take to write an OS in just asm?
