Cosmos - C# Open Source Managed Operating System.

CodeProject: Cosmos - C# Open Source Managed Operating System. Free source code and programming help

Cosmos?
Cosmos is short for C# Open Source Managed Operating System. Despite C# being in the name, VB.NET, Fortran, and any .NET language can be used. We chose the C# title because our work is done in C#, and VBOSMOS just does not sound as nice.
Cosmos is not an Operating System in the traditional sense, but instead, it is an "Operating System Kit", or as I like to say "Operating System Legos", that allows you to create your own Operating System. However, having been down this path before, we wanted to make it easy to use and build. Most users can write and boot their own Operating System in just a few minutes, and using Visual Studio.
Cosmos lets Visual Studio compile your code to IL and then Cosmos compiles the IL into machine code.
