Well, my OS has a built-in command interpreter called hash. It runs in either 80x50 or 80x25 text mode, and doesn't have many features. It borrows a few ideas from bash, though. Attached is a screenshot from an older version of hash.
EDIT: I'm also planning on writing a little shell for a second-stage bootloader, as well. It'll probably be one or two KB in size, whereas hash is 5 or so.

I'm currently working on a headless version of my OS, because I've had a change of heart and haven't enjoyed writing code for end-users anyway (ie, being able to run applications, trusting users, etc...).
The user-based version has several screen shots on its project page at
http://www.sf.net/projects/mattise.

Like pcmattman, my OS has no interface, and I don't plan on implementing one any time soon.

I plan on making a good kernel base, that is quite fast and stable and then implementing current technology to work with it. Of course, I will keep a shell/CMD line for those who don't have new hardware.
I'm also going to implement my own GUI design, but that it quite far off.

Im currently in a heavy redesign of the core components of my OS, so none yet for me either
Well, besides the one in the new boot loader, anyways. Pics of that is in my
other thread.

This is the pinnacle of my OS's user interfaces. Or would that be editing the makefiles to run different binaries on boot

Maybe but that one's not specific about user interfaces... There's also one on development environments.

I have both a CLI and a GUI, has the CLI or GUI are just normal program's that can be load or unload, you can change them at will.
Examples of user interfaces that have been code for my OS.
Example of CLI
example of game console type GUI
Example of desktop

TBOS loader with minihash wrote:
boot.sct | loads the file saveboot.bin to 07C0:0000 and jumps to it
I think the right address to jump to would be 0000:7C00 (well, if you want to keep compatibility with other boot sectors than your own - but in case you don't, you'll have to write a boot sector for each filesystem you add). I'm aware that it's the same physical address but it will mess with your near jumps.

Uncle Oz won't much care though.
