Has any one tried SkyOS? I want to but you have to pay $30. But it is kinda of a good deal cause you gat the final package and all the betas, old versions and Live CD when it comes out.    http://skyos.org  

check it out!

I wouldn't want that.  If I have to pay for a new OS I might as well get Windows that has been around for way longer and is has a lot more market support.  As far as OS's go, I'm sticking to Linux for now.  After poking around MenuetOS I realized it gets pretty complicated to configure stuff.  Since I'm not a Assembly Language Programmer I'm going to have to wait until the release of version 1.0 of MenuetOS before I try it agian.:D

Wierd, I downloaded SkyOS a while ago and I never paid for it.

Then again, it didn't work either  :p

For memory it had issues with some of my old hardware.

The FAQ said that they became commercial for the 5.0 release.

MenuetOS has would probably have the same issues with older hardware, it's built for 32-bit processors.  The reason I find it appealing is because it's a complete system on 946KB.  Even if it doubles it's size it'll still fit on 2 floppies.  Imagine having a 20GB HD and your OS only taking up 5MB or so of it?

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
