Who is Going to Buy SkyOS?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the does-it-pique-your-curiosity dept.

An anonymous reader wonders: "With the huge amount of operating systems available (numerous free and non-free Linux distros, Windows, Mac OSX, BSD, etc) who would buy SkyOS? An OS that was once free will now become a commercial operating system with the release of version 5.0. Although 'Porting applications from POSIX operating systems is an easy task', applications will still have to be ported since SkyOS 'isn't based on any other operating system'. This leads me to wonder...is there something about this operating system that I'm missing? Has anyone out there tried SkyOS and why would anyone pay for SkyOS with all of the alternatives out there with tonnes of software easily available?"

    answering in lieu of jesus, i'd just like to say that this is a side effect of a tear in the time space continum the size of a large spiral galaxy :)

    Don't panic :) there is nowhere left to run. if there was something you really really wanted to do, go fucking do it man, the universe is infected with a virus that launches every 2 minutes, and fully restores every system in the universe. :) no shit, it's fucking crazy, worse still is a virus that grants every user complete protection from the only angel who didn't get infected (satan) who right now is bound to only use female bodies :)

    this is too crazy for me to be making this shit up dude. :)
