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?

It's a closed source operating system I don't see what the big deal is. You paid for a beta. I'm sure you used the beta. If and when there is an update I'm sure you'll have access to it. I hope SkyOS continues in some form or another but in the end it's not my call so my opinion doesn't count. Things change, goals change, hardware changes and over time lessons are learned. But to demand progress on something you don't own is disrespectful even if you bought into the beta it's still not your code.
