Trying to do your own OS? Are you nuts???!!!
It's so darn crazy and even the folks here....none of them have tried it!

I tried to do low level stuff. Indeed I do not want my OS to become popular. I am just doing it for learning purposes.

Imagine....Microsoft spent billions just to create Windows XP! It consists of years of 365/24/7 coding and testing and even if you can do it, your hair would be even trendier than Albert Einstein!

I do not want reprogrammate WinXP neither sell my OS. I will put it up to the internet when it has some simple features like HW multitasking etc. Maybe someone can learn something from it.

By the way, don't show me code. I've forgotten everything and I even have a problem trying to understand the code that you just posted. I'm a goner.....argh!

I won't bother you with code. no no...

Anyway, your attitude is what I like about the young teenage folks here in CodeGuru. Aspiring to learn and real humble. Very talented too, if you compare yourself to the folks here in where I come from. U've a good road ahead of you and will have no problems de-throning folks from the Microsoft MVP seat.

Thank you. ... And thats all because I have nothing better to do

Anyway, has there been any interesting changes in the Windows/Visual C++ programming world? The last time I was still around, all the hype was in .net and Visual Studio.net and C#.....and those crappy "Managed C++" etc.

Even until now, seems that .net hasn't gone as well as Bill Gates want it to. So, is .net still around? Soaring and getting more popular? What about the latest version of Visual Studio?

Not really... Well the Windows part of MFC is now OpenSource (wtl.sourceforge.net) and Managed C++ has become a new syntax for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 2 which is the last Visual Studio Version. dotNet is becoming better and the .NET forums of CodeGuru are growing. Yes it's on its world domination tour.

Good day too...
