"The general feeling that SkyOS gives is... Simply great! A lot of work done under the hood seems to be paying back with a solid, responsive operating system. It scales very nicely, opening up a lot of OpenGL demos and other applications at once doesn't seem to affect stability, however it is currently very resource hungry (600MB RAM usage and up isn't anything strange while using Firefox, Gaim and having a few more apps open). Let us not forget that this is a debug build. It is completely usable and boots blazingly fast (~15 seconds from GRUB to desktop) though." My take: The best change? The new versioning scheme. Really.

sky os is a great thing, i hope the open sourced parts are still available to the publice once they're out of beta and im sure they will comply with all licensing issues......i apologize if i caused a lot of fuss----but you must relize that somebody's gotta do it or it will bite you on down the road by someone else.
robert also told me a long time ago that there will be a free version of SkyOS. I hope this is still the case.
ALSO: I liked the old skyOS.org design, the new one is ugly i liked the pretty clouds.
