'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."

    No kidding.

    I'm beginning to dread reading Slashdot. Crappy summaries. Crappy choices for summaries. And now truly vile comments about a project that some people got together to do for what seems like shits and giggles. Whatever happened to coding something because you thought it would be cool? Whatever happened for coding something because you could? Whatever happened to doing something different for the sake of being different?

    Apparently this is what the community has degraded to. Personally I'd rather go on a date with Alyssa Bereznak while getting kicked in the nuts being forced to use apple products (after updating iTunes AGAIN) than read this Slashdot trash.
