Operating Systems are never, ever near finish. Have you ported it to existing architectures yet? Is it self-hosting? What can you actually do that it useful with it?

He does call it a "starting" OS, so perhaps it has some set goals aside from "one OS to rule them all," and he's close to accomplishing those goals. Not everyone intends to port their OS to alternative architectures either. Let's just sit back and wait to see what the OP has to show us.

Then maybe the OP could shed some light as to his end goals... or maybe make his post a little less vague.
