New Operating System. In need of help.

[rockweiler]

If anyone hasn't heard of Singularity ( http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/ ), then check it out. My OS will be almost the same as Singularity, except it will be programmed by us and released as open source.

Much like Singularity, I would like this OS to contain as little Native Code ( c/c++, asm) code as possible. And the rest in C#. For this work, we will have to design our own compiler, linker, and runtime for C# so that it can work in our OS.

Before anyone jumps the gun, know that this project will take many months of research and coding before we get anything that even appears like an OS.

This is obviously a project for the best to even attempt. But since I do not like to be a jerk, ANYBODY that knows C#, C/C++ or Assembly can email me to inquire about this project. This project will require the help of many individuals and a spot will be found for anyone that wants to help.

I don't have a webpage setup yet, but one will be up soon if I can get enough people to work on this project.

I can offer my services, but I don't know any C#, and don't know how is it done(No Interest In Microsoft)

why make a compiler and linker
all you need is a runtime for it

well i don't know about this project, but afaik, singularity is compiled to native code (rather than executing in a VM) and doesn't use .net garbage collection (though some parts do use there own custom garbage collection) -- both of these requirements require a specialized compiler
