Ah for god sake, some admin or moderator, get this out of the vb-forums! It's very clear we are not going to do this in vb.

I put it?

kind regards,

Send it to Bill Gates care of Microsoft. I'm sure he would get a kick out of it. I know I have.

An OS buitl using VB... and a major requirement is that it has to load up before the OS does. LOL

I thought it would have to load up mid way in the OS load process.

I've moved it to Software Development. I'll check with the Admins and see whether they agree.

VACE, Ali et. al.,

do you guys even know what an operating system is? Have a read (I think you fall under the category of hobbyists).

[YarrOfDoom]

I already read that one. Also the page about kernels I already read. The only problem for me to go on is the lack of knowledge of C++ (and assembly would come in handy to). But I'm starting to work on that.

I don't know about VACE but i know about myself that i know what a OS is.
Because now days in our univ we are studying OS and doing work on C/C++ and after a month we will start working Assembly as well.
So i think we ll be able to make an OS of our own some day.
And i also know that this is a very difficult job. But those are also people like us who made other OS. SO cant we make an OS?
We need to be expert in C/C++ and Assembly as well in others and we will.

So thanx a lot for your link it ll helpful for us.

I think the problem is that when, for example, Steve Wozniak created Apple DOS while on an intercity flight, an OS didn't need to do very much. (After all, who had ever seen one? You could throw together a "model T" OS and everyone would stand around gaping in awe.)

These days, the majority of people use things like Windows Vista and various Linux distributions, which have evolved over many years of work by people who (presumably) understand operating systems. So any OS you build now, to be of any use, would need to do a lot. To be taken at all seriously, it would need to be at least as good as the flakier of the Linux distros.

I think we should bring back BeOS.

Well even if it doesn't work out, I'd bet we will have learned some new things.

[VACEPROGRAMER]

OK , look. If i want i will learn assymbler for 2 manth and i alredy start to learn C++ and for now is excelent. I don't know about you gays but i don't like Windows and Linux. I just want to make something that is good and the people will love to use. And it's enough for the BILL GAITS jacking whit OS. Is time for something good.

PS: I know what is OS (I'm 14 years and i'm expert in programming language. I have learn VB for 5 months in slow mode of learning and I'm a virus writer if you wnow)

By the way YARR i don't know to use Chat. I don't think is problem to use a MSN.

VACE - virus

[YarrOfDoom]

I won't be on MSN anymore. I just don't need it anymore. It's has gone completely out of my habits. So if you need to tell me something, post here, or PM me.

PS: it's written "guys", not "gays", because that has a completely different meaning. :P
