SkyOS Everyone's favourite perpetual beta operating system, SkyOS, has introduced a concept of an interesting new feature, whose inspiration came from a feature on the Playstation 3. The feature is kind of like an always-accessible (even during the boot process) version of Front Row, which you can access using a mouse gesture or a shortcut. It then allows you to access and play all your media files. "So whenever you want to quickly listen to music you don't have to open a dedicated music player. Simply enter crossbar, select your song and return to the desktop. Crossbar has been designed to make this as fast and as straight forward as possible." Click read more for a video.

The Hurd userland is quite stable... it has been in production for several years using a "temporary" kernel called Linux ;)

no updates does not mean stable.

only debian can do that.

and more on topic, i like it. i have a ps3 and i like the simple interface (compared to xbox or something). i hope people start finally developing better interfaces. the desktop metaphor works not that well.
