SharpOS 0.0.1 has been released. "The SharpOS project is aimed at writing an operating system in 100% C#. This originally proved to be a problem of nearly philosophical proportions because C# is a managed language, and by nature isn't designed for such low-level uses as developing an operating system kernel. Please note that although our goal is to create an operating system in C#, the infrastructure we have created allows kernels to be written in any language that targets the Common Intermediate Language bytecodes and exposes pointers and unsafe code."

IMHO the point is to have fun and just to prove that something like this is possible. There doesn't need to be any more reason than that, you know. Besides, this is a great challenge and for those who like mental challenges programming an OS is most likely pretty darn fun and interesting! I won't touch this SharpOS myself but I think this is a fantastic proof-of-concept and I wish all the luck to the devs :3
