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?

When he started taking money from beta testers, he lost the right to be upset when people ask for something. It's perfectly reasonable for people - especially paying users - to express their preferred path. They want to see SkyOS live, not die. You and him need a perspective adjustment; users matter.
