My friend's trying to create his own Virtual OS(Operating System) but I argue that it's impossible. Am I wrong? Because I've never heard of such a thing.

Virtual OS.. Well that depends on what you are implying. I'm going to assume that it is something similar to the 'SUB OS' that many people made in Game Maker. There are also shell and system replacements for windows. Basically, windows is booted and most functionality is suspended. Only the OS kernel functions are active for hardware access. Everything else (GUI, and such) is done via custom coded linked to kernel level API calls.

In theory, a basic OS isn't that hard to make. A decent level of assembly is needed though.
