You do realise that making an OS is a ridiculously extraordinary task, consuming dozens of months of work, right?

How far along are you? Where are your company's credentials? What are your goals? Where's your roadmap?

Yea, sign me up with the other gullible morons who would sign up with a company building an OS in C that also happen to have a hotmail email account... I'll add e-mailing you right next to "putting my southwest on the northbound of a bat" on my to-do list...

Edit: Also, thanks for explaining that the acronym "OS" means the term "Operating System" in your title. I didn't know that before, thank you for graciously sharing your valuable knowledge, oh wise ass.

If you're incapable of finding the "Job Offers" forum (which allows for zero-pay offers), why would we judge you capable of doing what you claim to be doing? You might go sit behind the barn and work THAT over in your kidney....

Wow . . . harsh. :p

As has been stated above, making an OS is no small deal. You'd have a difficult time finding someone. If you're serious about it though, you should probably give more details on the project.

Yeah you should probably give more details if you are serious, like: "Hi all I'm writing an OS, and I am searching for some help, I know I am new here but I have a detailed plan of action which contains: -writing a bootsector -writing a bootloader -writing standard drivers -writing a compiler for the OS -writing additional tools. Well etc, etc, hope you get the point.
