SkyOS At the end of January this year, I wrote a rather harsh, but honest article on the state of SkyOS. I was very worried that the closed-source operating system, for which users have to pay in order to beta test it, would never reach a final version, something that was promised to the people paying the price. This feeling was strengthened by a lack of updates; we were five months without news, six months without a release, and 8 months without a changelog update. My article got the ball rolling, but now that we're five weeks down the road, is that ball still rolling?

Or, get some venture capital and hire a small team (~10) of full-time coders, as opposed to relying on donations given "catch as catch can" while working other jobs.


And do what exactly? Go head to head with Microsoft, Apple, and the major Linux Distributions for a share of the Desktop market? Sounds like a very sound business plan. Venture capital? Or venture throw-your-money-down-the-drain?
