Unlike others, I sort of like the retro-Windows 95 look. But until there's a C/C++ compiler for this OS, progress will be slow.

But also amazing to see such progress in a one-man project so regularly.

The CD boots just fine, bringing up the blue bootloader screen. At that point the floppy drive light comes on, as if the bootloader is trying to load the OS from a floppy instead of the CD.

I think I've reported this same problem with previous version(s) as well. Hope it's not a widespread problem and/or something that can be eaily repaired; many new computers are not equipped with floppy drives, making functional CD booting critical.

I haven't tried the 0.63 floppy yet, but I will this afternoon.
