Re: GameDev vs OSDev
Having worked on both, I like both.
Game engines can be complex. Physics, paging large landscapes, all kind of rendering effects, AI, procedural generation, message passing, inventing data structures for compressing and streaming your level from disk, cross platform compatibility.
Over the past few years, Unity has soared in popularity. For me personally, the best thing about Unity is the number of platforms it supports (one source base - Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android, Windows Phone. WebGL is coming soon.) The Asset Store is also pretty cool, because as a programmer, I'm not so great at art and I'm able to rapidly prototype things if I can just purchase a premade asset and insert it.

Re: GameDev vs OSDev
For me, Operating system development is hard but game development is hardest. What about GameDev on your own operating system?
