SkyOS After a long period of silence, finally some news on SkyOS. SkyOS now has a dock-like launcher application, written by Lukas Linemayr. Other than that, the core components of the operating system are now available in a staggering 27 languages. The translation from PE to ELF is almost complete, and a new release, with desktop compositing, should be released shortly.

Yeah I read the POSIX compatibility and suspected UNIX/Linux re-compilation. Though I would be curious as to the draw of using this operating system over well established Linux distributions?

Don't get me wrong, the development of a stable operating system that's POSIX compliant is a treamendous effort, I just question how they plan on building business model around a very small operating system when Linux is available.

Well, to get the best answer to that, I really suggest you visit skyos.org and especially the forum.
