The SkyOS team has released SkyOS Build 6947. This release comes with the new email client as well as the new integrated development environment which we reported about earlier. The SkyOS API has been extended with new classes, and of course a lot of bugs have been squashed.

I didn't rate your comment but either way, you can't dislike or go against a product just because it is not free. However the fact that they don't even have a trial/demo edition is very bad. This is because I don't even know whether it will run on my PC. In the past, about a year and half -- two years ago, most of the Linux distros did not run on my PC because of my JMICRON IDE chipset.
Well I sent an email to the SkyOS people about dishing out $50 for beta testing while most software are free for beta testing and then they require some type of payment for the final product, and got a very lame reply saying "Your Welcome." My question didn't even get answered, I don't mind paying the money but to beta test it should be free especially when I don't even know if it will work my computers.

well most software aren't operating systems, especially very new ones. You have to be able to accept some risk and trust and appreciate what robert is trying to do here.
If I'm not mistaken, skyos probably doesn't want 5 zillion people using it so soon. Many would fill up the forums complaining about this and that and it would be hard to filter out all the noise.
Someone who would pay $ despite the risks is probably dedicated enough to be a solid beta tester.
