For the past few months, I've been working on a custom OS.

So far, I have the following done:
    Custom Kernel
    Custom GUI
    Full Multitasking
    Complete Custom Office Suite
    Internet Browser
    32 bit and 64 bit Compatible

I'm not ready to release pictures or video yet, but I hope to do that soon. I plan on keeping it closed source and making it proprietary.

In a few months? Is this OS perhaps Linux?

Nope. As I said everything is custom made.

I have to agree with Alboin - it is not doable to write every line of a complete OS from scratch within such short timespan. Comparing to my own os it means that you do over ten-thousand lines of code a day.

So you have to come with a bit more than a just an hard to believe claim.

It's not entirely complete. There are many features that don't work yet. Only the ones I outlined are working.

Custom Kernel:
* ... nothing special about that here.

Custom GUI:
* could be very basic or using transplanted video libraries

Full Multitasking:
* not impossible to code in the time claimed

Complete Custom Office Suite:
* a basic notepad and spreadsheet application fulfills that, once again, not impossible.

Internet Browser:
* this is the only one I would claim to be impossible. but, he/she/it could use the term in any given number of ways (graphical or not, compliant or not, full/partial/minimal HTML/JavaScript/etc... support)

32 bit and 64 bit Compatible:
* compatibility mode is not hard to enter and requires very little time to do.


I wouldn't call this impossible, just maybe the wording could be toned down a lot as I have a feeling that the 'features' aren't as advanced or mature as portrait.

When you post something, you should have some proofs.

This sounds doubtful at best, however, as 01000101 pointed out, it is possible, if the creator has a LOT of experiance.

Everything he said was true, I have seen it. He brought it to the University and tested it in the lab. His kernel and loaders all fit in the first 512 of a floppy and it has error handling! He wrote his own compiler and it optimizes code, not even one code cave anywhere! His browser is a bit buggy though. It renders images like IE and it doesn't fully support CSS, but it still works pretty well. His GUI is fugly though, but not everyone is an artist. His Office Suite is a true Office Suite, it has a version of excel, word, power point, and outlook; it even looks similar in a lot of ways. He codes very fast and I heard he stays up really late and rarely is away from his computer, so yeah it is true.

I believed you for the first two sentences. But it's impossible to put all that stuff, let alone exception handling in a single sector. Maybe you could fit a shell, file loading, and exception handlers in a CD sector (2048 bytes of data) but definitely not 512 bytes.

B.S.

Want to provide even a scrap of proof, rather then just logging in as another user?

Normally I'm not the kind of person to do this, but...
