I think your question is waaay to broad. Cant really give anything more specific than google searches and wikipedia links. For example, the Web desktop article links to a few open source ones. Why dont you start there?

You can't really build an operating system in a web browser. An operating system is a layer below your applications, and handles stuff like memory management, file systems, and other lower-level needs. (That is of course, unless you are virtualizing hardware and then building a virtualized OS to manage that virtualized hardware... in which case, that is ridiculous.)
If instead you're looking to build a shell where applications can interact with your shell in a standardized way, then yes this is possible, but why would you do this?
The only recommendation I can offer is to start with a well-developed Javascript framework. Choose carefully based on your needs. I recommend YUI, but also use jQuery quite a bit.
