zune os possibility (kinda)

hey i was thinking and a great idea came to me: make an OS like one would a make a game. so all you would have to do is go into the games menu and launch it. simple but making it might be a pain. plus then you would also have the zune system still intact. just a thought

Space, although not as much as processing power, would be a problem.

what are the zune hardware specs like cpu ram

343mhz or something like that not much at all really.

you aren't running photoshop or anything like that on here. Remember Win 95 with 233mHz being super fast. The same level of functionality 95 could easily be run on the Zune hardware. The problem would be however, getting it to use everything(wifi) and doing it correctly. Also, input would be a hard task.

It is doable with the hardware, but with operating systems having millions of sloc, vista at 50 mill and osX 10.4 at 86 mill, writing a os in XNA would be a long weekend
