SkyOS has always been criticised for the fact that you have to pay for it in order to beta test it. I personally never saw a problem with this construction, especially since the price included a full copy of SkyOS

*grin* If I'm correct there once was such an list and until beta version 8 it really looked like it would get finished...
And then it started with an additional driver... an new interface element... an other interface element... an partially new API... an updated application delivery method... and apparently, VM is the new thing...
Next stop... Maybe some added software to launch spaceshuttles and buy a deliverypizza.

I am a little disappointed at the recent lack of progress, but it's good to hear that something is happening. I had my membership for a few years now and there has been significant progress in that time.
However, I didn't "buy in" in order to get a serious OS at the end of it, more to see some of the (pretty good) ideas in action (and possibly poach some of them for my own embryonic project) and to support independent development.
My take: If Szeleney is serious about reaching .0, he needs to come up with a definitive list of things that will be in it and stick to working on those.
