- Gemini Nucleus - Open source project to make a production quality micro kernel based on the latest findings in OS research.
gemini.sourceforge.net
- JTMOS - Operating system aimed at OS developers and users who are very advanced at using computers generally; microkernel, multitasking, multithreaded, some garbage collection. [Open Source]

- Moo32 - Early development microkernel.
www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/7477/os.html
- NewOS - Loosely based on concepts in BeOS, FreeBSD, NT, Solaris, other modern OSs; goals: be as modern and complete as possible, emphasize platform portability; runs on x86 1, 2/4 SMP CPUs, Sega Dreamcast Hitachi SH-4. Kernel used in OpenBeOS. [Open Source, BSD]

- sMultiTA - World's smallest, but full functioning, software extension for MultiTAsking. Very small 200 lines, coded in C, simple, no interrupts or blocking, for hard realtime use; portable, easy to reconfigure to other systems. [Open Source, GPL]

- SOBS: Stream and Object Based System - Operating system designed for high flexibility and modularity in design and usage. A stream-based OS has one premise: that all objects in a computer system, be they hardware, device drivers, programs, whatever, fundamentally operate in the exact same way. Very readable explanations, source and binary distributions.

- WildMagnolia - Microkernel with small privileged nucleus providing processes, threads, IPC and synchronizing primitives. Modules added as separate processes in user-space. Unlike most kernels, uses mainly migrating thread model like Mach's. [Open Source, GPL]
