hm I started doing an OS myself about a week ago. I had been reading alot on OS design and implementation. Though I dislike the idea of vapor-ware I stopped working on the OS to start working on a program that simulates routers and switches and other networking devices. I just started working on it today. Basically all devices, including the media (cables), will be simulated by software servers. I'm starting with a router and cat5 cable. I'm writing the router in C++ and currently thinking of writing the cat5 simulator in python.
As for the OS. All it does is boot and create and load a GDT and an IDT. it also calls global and static constructors for C++ objects as well as their destructors before the kernel ends. I will probably resume work on it after I'm done with the other program. an OS is just too much work.
If anyone is interested in helping in any of the two I'm open to help from others.
