SkyOS 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.

great news. i am wondering why, now that java is open source, not simply port over java (not simple i know)?
is there a licence conflict or something?

They are working on basic OS functionality still, I think. Then they can start porting over third-party software.

And 'simply' port over Java? It's much to big for 'simply'... many of the biggest ports, unfortunately, may have to wait until after SkyOS goes commercial.
