Creating an OS in visual basic 6.0
 |
Ok, I am a pretty good with visual basic, i have almost mastered the basics and thoght it would be cool to make my own personal os, the way i want it, updating it whenever i feel, i am not sure if it is possible, but if it is, can someone guide me through the process? 
i dont think it is possible with vb as you need to have the visual basic runtime installed on the system to run any vb program. most OS's are writen in C/C++ and ASM but im sure there are other languages that can be used but i dont think you can with visual basic 
but it would be pretty cool if you could. and if im wrong on this could someone correct me

On PlanetSourceCode, there are examples of 'VB Operating Systems' - they aren't realy OS's though. You can't make a true OS in VB.
http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...41529&lngWId=1 might give you some more information about this.
Good luck!

Does anybody think it would be possible to make an OS using Delphi? <more specifically, delphi 2>
Nope u cannot make an Os using VB or Delphi,
basically u need C/c++ in client server , ASM, and must be strong in unix platforms.
algorithms too play an important role.

hey i have done some research but have found out that All the programers out their think that VB can't create and OS now to create an OS u need no dependency that is done in C,C++,ASM let's face it those language are not the fun as VB and qbasic so here is my question if some how their is a way to install the runtime needed by vb could it be possible to create an OS then
and Qbasic and VBdos yes VBDos 1.0 the first version of VB i think does not need any dependency other then dos so if some how we are able to create an replica of dos in asm that if i may say so i almot have it then is it possible to create an OS in qbasic or VBDos ??
----------please do reply ur opinion it does matter thx :lol:----------
