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."

    He is NOT questioning why somebody would develop this. He is NOT saying there is no use. He merely wants to know what makes SkyOS special.

    However he forgets to add what that special is for him. For some people IPv6 support is a major feature, for others it's the popup menu transparency. So he sounds like a troll :-/

    Every other windows clone Ive seen in the past 10 years, how come open source is totally in-capable of inovation, every single feature seems to be lifted off of Unix, Windows, MacOS, AmigaOS/Workbench, RISC OS, DOS....

    Inovate damnit, don't just do the same old thing, copying someone else leaves you in #2 spot, only once youre doing new things do you get to #1.
