Samos is a new development to create and operating system with the stability of linux, graphics or mac or linux and the applications, usability and compatability of windows.

We dont intend to start again, we intend to integrate windows files such as .exe so to be fully compatable with current software.

Eep, they're lofty goals! Reimplementing the Windows API will take you decades (see the WINE developers) and hoping to recreate the featureset of Linux or OS X will take ages too. What do you have written already?

Have you decided if you should go with javascript or visual basic as the language yet?

Oh, no. I was thinking of going with PHP. Thanks for the heads up though.

if you find too bored to reply that its fine but dont tease them yar, after some time they will understand the difficulty in creating an os.
Well i am working on this os project for around 2 years and i submitted the project for review, and one of my lecturers quoted that "have you took two years just to create a shell and to run few hello world programs?"
