You can't build an os in visual basic, but I think you can in freebasic. It's probably not worth it though because it would be very slow. If you are really serious about making an os than you should use assembly.

Here is a tutorial on how to make an os in freebasic: http://wiki.osdev.org/FreeBasic_Barebones

    Visual Basic DOS maybe, but only because I've seen it done with QuickBASIC.

    you definitely don't need to learn ASM... and even if you did you wouldn't need to use the NASM assembler
