I want to create an aggressive project like this because as a business man I see a market. I am going to major in Economics, I have a 4 year background in the IT industry and about a year of programming under my belt. I intend to get a lot of help from outside sources. @Sitwon Thank you very much for the list of materials. I am looking into linux from scratch, if I can build on top of linux it will make it a great deal easier. I can't determine what I will do right now as I lack the knowledge to make a good decision. As you say, webapps are becoming more of a thing but ultimately there is going to be some processing done locally and that local part is what I am going to try to create.

Is there any books / articles that you can specifically recommend as far as OS design and implementation goes? Yes, I am looking into linux but I still intend to create a new os.

Hello, I am planning on starting a company that will compete with Microsoft and Apple. Before I go about any of this I am faced with an extremely difficult task of creating an OS, I haven't the faintest clue where to start and would appreciate it if someone could point me in a general direction of what I should start researching. edit: Yes I am serious, Yes I realize that this is an extremely difficult task and will be hard to accomplish. I still would like to learn though so that I can best produce the results that I desire. Best Regards, AuthenticUser
