Another consideration is that you will probably have as a goal for your OS to be self-hosting, that is, you can compile your operating system using your operating system. If your applicationOS is written in C, your minimal requirements will therefore be a C compiler and C library. If you intend for your OS to be a Windows clone rather than another POSIX-compliant OS, you will need a C library that does Windows calls instead of POSIX calls, and you will need a C compiler that uses just the C library instead of doing POSIX calls.
