SkyOS Beta build 6753
has been released. The installation procedure is now provided through a Live CD session thanks to BranchFS. This build includes the new C++ API, which makes development much easier. It also comes with three new services (PowerMonitor, SpellChecker and Registrar) and support for 45 more ATA/SATA chipsets. It also offers initial support for GNU classpath, Kaffe and Wine.

1) The Live CD public (free to download) demo release is currently unscheduled.
2) We'll be releasing more often from now on, once a fortnight.
3) Initial support means that e.g. Wine still needs a Wine/SkyGI backend, but you can run commandline applications already.
4) No, it's closed source, no, it's not another linux distro, it's written from scratch, and no, we're not violating the GPL.
Congrats to Robert and the people on the Alpha Team (struggled through ~17 alpha builds to get to this point).
Edited to add third and fourth point.
