Just to make it clear I got the anwser I need and don't flame me

Read the posts below and please help instead

A Operating system made in AHK ?!
Is it possible

Tell me what you think


My Opinion:

Well it possible to make a Gui that looks like an OS but you still got to have the Windows Core files

So what do you think ?

Well maybe I should get back into posting on these wonderful forums. I stopped making things in ahk when I fell in love with php and stopped by these forums a few times to search for some cool posts and see how ahk is doing.

Ok its not possible to make an OS out of ahk without making microsoft mad because of how dependent ahk is on windows. You'd pretty much use windows with most apps and features been made in ahk. I've worked on some OS Dev stuff and its hard... I gave up of course asm isn't for me yet. There are sorts of desktops on the internet like eyeOS which is like an online desktop environment, pretty nifty.

But what about this if you in some weird way got a permission to use the files

Would it be possible then ?


But yea probably not possible

Don't be disappointed with the answers. There are many neat things you could potentially do in autohotkey. Autohotkey needs an OS to run ... Windows, so by definition, it cannot be an OS.

What you could do is make a distribution. Let's say you make a bunch of tools for doing things. Totally abandoning the normal user interface, and making your own overlay.

Then you could use that overlay with friends and such.

In the same spirit as your post, there are hobbyists who have made graphical shells for dos with qbasic. Anyways, I think it's a cool thing to explore none the less. Good luck

Well I know you cant make a standalone OS in AHK
but as you say a distribution can be made.

The only problem making a distribution would be the user interface
and the file management otherwise I think we could do a "distro" but that would most likely make Ahk.com a target for Microsoft

It wouldn't be fun if Chris or anyone else were sent to jail for sharing Microsoft copyrighted code

Well I think I got the anwsers I need
Thanks guys

psst! A little help on the UI and file management could be helpful

What do you mean UI and file management? Are you trying to tackle the "distro" idea or do you mean ahk help for that or asm help on file management?

Somewhere in the Tips & Tricks thread there is a post about making pretty looking GUI's. As for file management, that's pretty simple if you just use windows for that, otherwise I'm not so sure.
