Hell was already frozen anyway, but apparantly, the SkyOS team is trying to bring hell's temperature to absolute zero, since they are saying 2007 might see a release of SkyOS 5. "After what seems about 30 years worth of work (I'm sure even more to Robert), SkyOS will finally be released to the public. Lots of details are still being worked out on this one (as well as the obvious issues still present in the system), but we're really shooting to make it happen."

it's not even about the number of bugs but the amount of time required fixing them will be much much longer than the time it took to put in all those not quite complete features.
I'm not saying SkyOS should be open source but I would have a lot more confidence if more developers worked on it, like the small team BeOS had. (and even they were bogged down trying to make and debug all the drivers for the zillions of configurations out there)
You see, I'm very frustrated because everyone since BeOS talks about an alternative to Windows that runs on regular PC's and is easy to use but nobody delivers or they have a special "catch" that limits their future (GPL, compatibility with an old OS, too small team, etc)
