Jerry on Creating an OS
Microsoft is not a good example of the standard by which to abide for defining the time it takes to make an OS. They releases OSes at a regular pace, and each os release is done to exploit more the new hardware. It’s not a matter of “it took microsoft 20 years so it will take you 5000 years”, NO! If you want to make a multitasking, multithreading OS with an interface similar to XP, I would say one year is a reasonable time frame. For vista it’s more difficult since there’s the 3d cards for them you need to write drivers. YOu also need to write network support for your os to be like microsoft’s. But please remember, The microsoft operating system is plagued with politics, negociations, legacy support and all that, and if making an operating system just like what microsoft did is really what you want, Im sure you can do it in less time microsoft did it, if you work on it full time. But about this particular opensource operating system that just want to be exactly like windows, I don’t know. Reactos is its name, http://www.reactos.org/en/index.html

I really think this blog is some kind of reverse-psychology pro-linux campaign. It attracts attention to Linux after all, not to M$.

Well, I, for one, have shaved my head, drank the Kool-Aid, and joined the JerryLeeCooper Fan Club! GO JERRY!

I’d like to think he’s employed by Microsoft. They could leave him next to the vending machine to forever try to enter his password, wondering why it won’t work, to finally conclude that the machine has no Windows on it.
It’ll either spur the employees on to greater things, or lead to vending machines running Windows so he can get his drink and just leave.

Ben: One problem, Microsoft has free drinks for employees. The have convenience store coolers stocked with beverages in the break area.

I can’t believe what this guy is saying. It is an utter disgrace to the computer world. First off, he can’t spell worth shit. It’s unbelievable. Second, nearly every point he is making (or trying to make) is completely incorrect. Mr. Cooper, Mac OS and Linux don’t run in conjunction (that’s a big word, you understand that?) with any Windows “drivers or services” as you state so often. Mac and Linux run on an entirely free and open-source kernel that is much more secure and more stable than the Windows NT kernel will ever hope to achieve. The Linux and Mac community are growing on average 3 times faster than all of Microsoft (read some articles on the technology market and you will see for yourself). Internet Explorer only has about 65% of the internet market share. The rest of which belongs to the (free, open-source, non-Microsoft) browsers Mozilla Firefox and Apple’s Safari.
You need to do your homework (and learn to spell) before opening your mouth ever again. You are a disgrace to the entire industry Mr. Cooper.

Heya,
Thought you might like to know that this is *not* the same jerryleecooper. Their first posts in the forum that this post is taken from clearly shows that they took the name out of deference to the *real* one. http://www.osdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=102943#102943
“Hello, I hope I didn’t offensed anyone by choosing this name as my username. I wanted a good name. That’s it, jerryleecooper, but I will not be stupid like this man.
I just want to make an operating system, not that linux thing that need windows to run ;-)”
