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?

"Currently, SkyOS development is on halt, and I’m trying to find a way to get out of this unpromising situation. At this moment I only see four resorts:
- Open source SkyOS
- Make SkyOS available for free
- Specialize on a yet to define niche
- Stop SkyOS development"
Maybe I'm missing the point but he has every right to do anything with SkyOS including shutting it down. It's his code. I would hope that he would just release the code under an open source license and go about his life with out having internet trolls slander his name over a failed pay-for beta program. If you guys who paid in feel cheated because you didn't receive updates and a final release then thats the chance you took when you paid in to a closed source beta program. I never looked at SkyOS as anything more than a hobby os. It had nice concepts but over all there is no market for it. Anyway anyone want to buy into my new beta program for my new beta yet to be coded operating system GhostOS. If anyone wants to join email me with your contact and banking info and I'll send you new releases and sneak previews and a final version as well as a live cd as soon as my code monkey gets finished with his bananna.
