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?"
