New SkyOS 5.0 Screenshots Released

Posted by timothy on from the eye-food dept.

Hexydes writes "After 3 months of waiting, the first round of screenshots showing off the new GUI for SkyOS 5.0 have been released. The three screenshots show various features of the new GUI, including the new WindUI theme, new Viewer window, and various window effects such as curves, shadows, and transparency. In addition to the new GUI, SkyOS 5.0 will have other additions, such as more support for hardware (just to name one, an ATI driver to go alongside the NVidia driver), speed and stability improvements, anti-aliased text, and Bochs support."

  1. So why should I use SkyOS, and not GNU/Linux? by Skuggan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It looks just like all other spinoffs where someone begins to write a cool GUI, and then it becomes a not so cool OS.

    What am I missing if I run GNU/Linux, GNU/BSD or GNU/Cygwin/Windows?

    If it's only the GUI I guess it can be implemented in XFree...

    (GNU above is only to keep RMS happy...)
