Here's my OS booting. I've started coding again. This time I'm going to try a micro-kernel based OS.

Mac, wow thats different, first os to run on a mac i have seen so far, well done

Hi everybody,

I'm new here, and I presents you two screenshots of my OS project (which had for name "Hydrogen OS") at booting. It is written entirely in x86 assembly with Solar Assembler.

Neat OS you've got there, Tommy. Proves that you don't need no GUI to make everything look shiny and attractive!

Thanks Creature .

Yes, but my OS will be entirely usable with a GUI, and I'm currently working on it.
I'll post new screenshots of the GUI when it will be more complete.

I don't get why my post was moved out of the thread... It had a link to a screenshot of my OS in it, which is the whole point of the thread...

Your post was moved?! I don't remember doing that, maybe one of the other mods did?

I pruned this topic, removing useless crap; some mac-fanboys had taken over it. Did your post get caught up in that?

If so, sorry! I used the "split from" feature and didn't realise there was an on-topic post in there.

I just commented that I did some development on Mac OS (with a link to a screenshot of my OS running in VirtualBox on OS X)... I'd hardly call that being a fanboy.

I've read the moved thread over and you're right, I split from the wrong post. The posts after yours were what I was intending to move. Sorry about that!

Here are two new screenshots of my OS.

nice I just don't get one thing, how do you start a new window test on that? I see two windows and no way to launch a new one right click or keyboard shortcut

Is that even a question? Obviously it's just a test, the windowing system development has just started. They're probably started up automatically.

That's right, Love4Boobies! This is the OS that created the two windows. I will add a keyboard shortcut to create new ones.

Yes, I wrote a game of life simulator. Yes, I was bored.

I actually looked up the comedian in those quotes, and found that he had a very interesting outlook on life. I like people who don't pretend. That incident in the Las Vegas Hotel is inspiring.

Although it's a rather dark way of looking at things, it's also honest. Nice, in a strange way.

@tommy: Beautiful. I can't wait until I've finally finished reading through the Intel Manuals, and drafting my final design, and doing a good, sturdy bit of reading on the IBM PC architecture in general, so I can get down to the nitty gritty, and eventually, at least four months from now, post up an OS looking similar.

Man...

Here's a new screenshot of my OS :
I changed a little the look of windows, which resembles that seen in WindowMaker.
I'm glad I can do something that isn't too slow . I use double-buffer for drawing windows, mouse, etc.
When my GUI is quite complete and functional, I post a pre-alpha version of my OS, so you can test it.
