The future of SkyOS, the closed-source alternative operating system, had been hanging by 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.

The kernel is pretty irrelevant to the user experience. In an alternate reality Microsoft could be using the Linux kernel for Windows yet it'd still look and feel the same as it does now.
If he stays away from X.org he can still be more than "just another Linux distro" but if he goes with it he'll get even better driver support but will become less distinct, but not by much.
