Everyone's favourite perpetual beta operating system, SkyOS, has introduced a concept of an interesting new feature, whose inspiration came from a feature on the Playstation 3. The feature is kind of like an always-accessible (even during the boot process) version of Front Row, which you can access using a mouse gesture or a shortcut. It then allows you to access and play all your media files. "So whenever you want to quickly listen to music you don't have to open a dedicated music player. Simply enter crossbar, select your song and return to the desktop. Crossbar has been designed to make this as fast and as straight forward as possible." Click read more for a video.

I think you'll probably be picking Crysis out of the $10 classics bin to run under Syllable before you'll have the "final" version of SkyOS
. I'm curious to see how SkyOS turns out, but right now, I'm more interested in where Syllable and Haiku are going. They both have a lot of potential, and are still in relatively early days.
