'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System

Posted by timothy on from the because-they-want-to-that's-why dept.

Billly Gates writes "A new operating system called Cosmo has been developed, written entirely in C#. It shows the naysayers you can write a full OS kernel without C. So far, you need Visual Studio to compile and run it, as Mono is not supported. However, the source code can be compiled with the Express editions of Visual Studio. The project plans to add VB.NET support soon."

    How can you possibly call it dead without a netcraft citation?

    It's not dead; it's resting.
