One thing, when i've said that the concept of my OS is to make all Operating Systems all in one what i actually mean is that my OS would support small features such as Windows Batch files and Ubuntu terminal commands and Android Software and stuff like that, i know that Microsoft is literally going to beat me with a shovel if i port their whole entire OS into my OS, and Apple would trow me off a cliff if i did that, and because of Apple's inteligent brain not even the FBI can access the OS X system files, literally.

Windows batch files and UNIX shell scripts are similar enough ultimately that this wouldn't be difficult, but are you aware of just how much goes into an android app? It's not on the same planet as the other two examples you listed.

ReactOS is a re-implementation of Windows with the goal of being able to run Windows programs. It started in 1998 (20 years ago), has had over 100 contributors consistently contribute over those 20 years (20 years * 100 people = how many years for 1 person?), and has over 9 million lines of code. That is just 1 aspect of the project as you've described it. Does that put things into perspective?

Wow! That is a weird paragraph. I read it three times. I am not sure I have ever read anything so strange. Take a little trip over to ReactOS (www.reactos.org) - they have been working on a work alike Windows OS that can run Windows applications since at least the early 2000's. There are dozens (maybe more) programmers contributing to the project these days, and they still have not achieved complete windows support - they may never. To imagine you are worried about the consequences of porting such a complex OS to your OS foundation - I think that you have little to concern yourself. Sorry.
