Take a look at sanos[^]: it's a minimalistic open-source OS, developed using Visual Studio and it implements a compatibility layer to Windows console applications.

The languages used are assembler and plain C, and browsing its source code could give you an idea of the work in which you are embarking.

Hi
Best I say would be to use a combanation of languages.
I would say majority C and assembly. Higher level stuff maybe C++.

Hope this helps!

A basic knowledge of assembly language programming might be userful - have a look at this[^] article.

I agree, If you want to build an operating system nothing beats assembly language.
I believe Windows is written in C++ and assemby.

The windows kernel, user and gdi modules are written in plain C. Some assembly also exist in the inner kernel.
C++ comes into play in more external libraries like COM or ActiveX etc.
