A few tips: I don't have the programming experience to write an OS yet, maybe in a few years (think: 5 or more and after learning and learning all I can about programming and computers) I might try, but if I did have the experience, I would not want to work for someone who cannot spell assembly or commission, nor would I feel that a cut of 5% of the profits would be even close to enough for my time. I would rather work for a donation (or for the fun of it) and release the OS for free than sell it and take only 5%.

How much programming experience do you have? Do you think you can make something that the public needs or wants and is willing to pay for? Some things to consider before you start on a project of that magnitude.
