Walking Through SkyOS 5.0 Beta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shades-of-atheos dept.

Hexydes writes "TechIMO has published the first preview of the next-generation SkyOS platform. The article includes a first-look at what users can expect in the next version of SkyOS, a review of how development has progressed from previous versions, and many screenshots." SkyOS is a free operating system for x86 systems; it looks very polished for being "mainly (99.9%) a one man project."

    I've been looking all over for YET ANOTHER small OS & GUI. Geez, I mean, I'm sure these are cool projects to work on and everything, but like AtheOS and others, it's simply a small OS with very little real support.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to disparage the people working on this. I've done plenty of my own projects that will go nowhere. Should I start dragging them out so Slashdot can run stories on them?
