The future of SkyOS, the closed-source alternative operating system, had been hangingby a thread for a long time now. Barely any releases, until they came to a grinding halt altogether and Robert Szeleney explained he was pondering the future of SkyOS, and where to take it from here. One of the main problems was a lack of driver support which really made development difficult. Well, this is a problem Szeleney might be able to fix.

It's pretty astounding (and somewhat appalling) that this old OSNews.com headline http://www.osnews.com/story/8162/Why_you_Shouldn_t_Write_your_Own_K... still proves correct.
Anyway, there's not much more that the SkyOS author could do instead, and it is of course much better than letting the OS die completely.
