I'm talking Android Jelly Bean here, or Ubuntu, or Windows 8. The entire operating system consists of: 1.The entire kernel, bootloader, and hardware drivers. 2.The middleware, APIs/frameworks, and user interface(GUI). 3.Window systems, filesystem, IPC, and any other system software. 4.Must also have a daemon, networking capability, TCP/IP stack, and all other network protocols to access a network, and must have Wi-Fi capability. All in all, it must compare to a modern OS for the most part. Can one person do it all from absolute scratch? Don't be close minded, please really think about it; image an extremely dedicated person who will give the time. There is no time limit, or budget, as this must all be done without money nor assistance in any form outside of a single individual. |

Why would anyone want to reproduce Windows 8? |
Nothing is too much work. Those who consider something too much work are usually ones that think that because they don't want to do the work to begin with. :P |

What have you worked on and how long did it take? Do you think saying "Make it so", magically creates engineering tasks? |

but soon as someone compares it to a serious OS it becomes impossible again. |
Just because he mentioned commercial OSes doesn't mean he wanted to make a commercial grade OS |

Whether this is a troll thread or not, matters very little as it asked advice and got it from everyone. |
