There are at this time, a number of what I would term 'OS re-creation projects' (OSRs) in active development. These are OSes that attempt, by varying degrees, to re-implement the features of another operating system. In this article, I'm going to explore some of issues surrounding projects of this type. In the second half of the article, I apply these observations and examine two example platforms (Amiga and OS/2) and the related re-creation OSes.

A fair point but I had to be selective in terms of which operating systems I looked at or the article would have been even longer.
I am quite familiar with Amiga and OS/2 and that eased the research stage. In addition, I had some points that I wanted to make about those OSes.
I might do a follow up at some point featuring BEOS, WIN NT, etc inspired projects.
