What would you like to know? :) My Operating System is not very orthodox, and i really wanted to have a go at every aspect to learn, experiment etc.

I use XML basically as an Abstract Syntax Tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree).
I dont believe there is a language thats best for Operating System Development. So i cut the language out completely and just write an AST directly. Gives me complete control over the assembly produced :)

i write all assembly manually and i have complete control over the assembly produced as well </troll> :mrgreen:
