Just to start something off...

Have you ever made an OS before?

If not, would you like to?

Hello roddefig, you finally got your OS dev forum!

Hopefully you guys will post a lot of links to OS development sites, because I have yet to find any useful ones.

To answer your 2 questions:
No i have never made one before, and Yes I would make one and name it MicroWindowKiller MWK for short 8-)

Hello.

I want to make my own OS but don't know how. I can program a bit in visual basic & i am learning .NET - Is it possible to make Operating Systems with .NET framework?

That would be a resounding "no". You cannot use the .NET framework to write an OS.

I've made an OS in my hardware-tinkering days. It was actually a proof-of-concept hardware-level safety-verification step for an 8-bit microprocessor. The idea was that it would interpret a hardware independent instruction set and translate it on-the-fly to the native hardware instruction set. It could be used to interrogate certain things about the code being executed. I got a certain amount of it working in a software-emulated environment, but never got far enough with the hardware to have it running usefully.
