Hello eveyone i want to know what you think about this Operacional Systems i will make.
Felype-DOS(Working: 43%): Based on MS-DOS it is a non-graphical OS with a lot of useful commands.
Felype-Server 2000(Not started):Based on Windows Server i will choose if it will be graphical or non-graphical it will be useful for hosting programs,hosting "servers",etc…
Felype 59(Not started):Based on Windows 95(Yeah its reverse) it will be a graphical simple OS,with some useful programs and Apis.
Tarantula(Working: 2%):It will be a advanced OS(recommended for advanced users) with some useful and complex programs.
What your opinion about my ideas?
(Sorry bad english.)

why mimic such a horribly-designed OS? unix is much more reliable, safe, and powerful

Its computercraft OS.
What he's saying is why base it off Windows, a "horribly-designed OS". I've found that basing your OS off an existing OS doesn't work too well, especially when dealing with windows (as in a on screen window, not the OS). It's completely up to you obviously, but I'd try to think about what features would be really useful and make an interface which works well with them. I'd also only make one OS, it's better to make 1 OS you've spent four weeks on than 4 OSs you spent a few days on each.
As with everything, but especially with OSs, attention to detail is vital. The best programs and OSs are the ones which the creator has put the most time and care in to. For example, I started my current OS in about mid-Novemeber and I've spent a good portion of my free time on it. As a result I feel that it's very solid and far better than my previous OS. Anyway, enough plugging. Have fun!

Ok but which of these ideas you find most interesting?
