Star So, You Want to Write an Operating System

Editorial I've always been curious about how things work. When I was little, I annoyed my parents with millions of questions. Why is the sky blue? How does water come out of the tap when you open it? Maybe I was born without the mental switch that lets you be happy with using something, without trying to figure out how it works.

So sad

Yes, I agree. Most of the new hobby OSes are for educational purposes and for the fun of coding late at night and ordering pizza. It's fun. :-)

How sad it is that we actually find this type of work not only interesting but enjoyable. I'm saying that in jest of course, since I find coding these kinds of esoteric stuff fun as well. I may take this article as an opportunity to code up my own OS for the fun of it. Nothing spectacular, just to do it.

PS. Thanks for the last few days of postings on OSNews...very interesting articles.
