My own Operating System.

I am just wondering how long and how hard it would be to make my own OS.

Unfortunately, it would take years to create even a really simple OS. There is just so much involved. It might be an interesting side project to take up, but I wouldn''t try to beat out Windows or Linux

KreatureCaos> Trust me, it''s LOTS harder than it sounds. I started writing an OS about a year ago, and stopped within 2 months. I managed to support most of the basic hardware (my hardware) and wrote my own interrupts, etc. But the problem came when I realized how hard it would be to write an OS to support even a fragment of the specialized hardware out there. But, it was definitely fun.
Ps - You also better know some assembler
. If you don''t already, use NASM - it''s free and you can create straight binary code, useful for creating an OS bootloader.
