want to get some primary queries answered!!

[Dany Gates]

hi, i want to know that is it possible to build a OS like Windows (that is 
with look and feel like Win) using Linux Kernel? If i build any such OS 
using /on Linux Kernel at core , will that OS has to be Open Source? If yes 
isn't there any way around it? I mean i have heard that Dynamic Linking 
solve this problem! Ok so suggest me some links where i can get info for 
building an OS on Linux Kernel (what do u think abt kernel 2.6 , is it 
good?).

What i want to do is just use linux kernel from open - source and don't want 
to make any changes to it  but build my OS around it, without modifying a 
bit of kernel, so does that free me from making my OS non open-source??
