What does the future hold?

Now with windows and linux getting to big to handle, what's next for the operating system world?

My prediction is that one group will start working on a brand-new kernel at some point.

Until then we have to use bloated kernels.

*cough*Pedigree*cough*

Seriously. If there's a Ruby and NASM port, I'll build and install it on my old laptop.

If it get's a gui and wireless working that's all I need.

I don't care about the internet, I just want to be able to port Bochs and NASM to it so it can be used to develop and test TBOS

Yeah, but you can't develop an OS without hardware documentation.

I bet, a virtual machine os; an os in its real sense; something that doesn't even leave the unabstracted processor for the applications. Someone will get rid of the performance issues with a virtual machine (something better than code translation)...

You can with knowledge though.

I also said I'd put in on my old laptop, my new one will still have vista on it

vista is a dud.lmfao

Hi,

My predictions:

Big and bloated OSs will get bigger and more bloated
Nobody will switch to a smaller/less bloated OS because it doesn't have all the features that they've become used to
CPU manufacturers will add more and more cores
Programming techniques that don't scale will be replaced by event driven systems that do scale
Embedded systems will eventually all become 80x86 compatible
Big and bloated OSs that were designed for programming techniques that don't scale (e.g. POSIX) will slowly die
A big and bloated OS that's being designed as an event driven system will eventually reach 95% market share for embedded systems, desktop and server
I'll sell a few trillion copies of the OS for $10 each, buy an island and retire

Cheers,

Brendan

/me also has a Ruby and NASM port on his OS.

O.o

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!

What would be cool is if all of the people (well, the people who know what they are doing) here would collaborate on an OS, one that we could all develop here in the underground while everyone else is complaining until it get's to a usable point. That would be friggin awesome!

We've already tried that multiple fscking times. It never worked, mainly because of conflicting ideas, no design before coding, nothing to base off of, and a couple of idiots who have no fscking idea what they're doing.

Then again, if anyone's interested in trying that again, PM me and we could set up a channel or something so we can start designing before coding.

That's why I haven't done a whole lot of coding with my kernel yet, design is everything. Yeah, I would love to try a collaboration, design first.
