I was following the discussion for quite a while now and where left with
and important questions which you should ask yourself:

Which hardware should your OS run on?

If you need to reboot your computer for every test run it will slow you
down.

The answer is also important if you want other to try out you work. BeOS
only became slightly successful after it was ported to standard PC
hardware. (Not that I like standard PC hardware all that much).

Now, if I wanted to create an OS I would not target real hardware at
all. At least not in the beginning. I would probably implement the OS
inside a VMware virtual machine.

VMware would mean that my OS could be tries out on a Windows / Linux /
Mac OS System with out and repartition pain. Actually one could a ready
made create VMWare payer image significantly reducing the try out or
join the project hurdle.

Martin
