At the end of January this year, I wrote a rather harsh, but honest article on the state of SkyOS. I was very worried that the closed-source operating system, for which users have to pay in order to beta test it, would never reach a final version, something that was promised to the people paying the price. This feeling was strengthened by a lack of updates; we were five months without news, six months without a release, and 8 months without a changelog update. My article got the ball rolling, but now that we're five weeks down the road, is that ball still rolling?

Thom, your journalistic ethics are unconscionable. You are abusing the power of many behind a popular website to pressure (and dare I say badmouth) a very small enterprise of one guy who has apparently been sidetracked from his project because of personal circumstances. What are you expecting as a reaction from him THIS time, exactly?
It is vindictive and low to chase after the fellow in a non-neutral and semi-public forum this way.
Paying beta testers: if you have issues with this guy, you should all take them up directly with him, not spraypaint his name on osnews.com.
Thom, as one of the primary article submitters, you should try to exercise some forethought to the consequences of what you write.
