Tech: Interesting New SkyOS GUI


SkyOS demo - I found this demo to be worth watching. This'll probably excite Linux users more than the rest of us, but there are several features I found would probably be useful. From what I understand the OS doesn't support a lot of hardware, but what does work seems to work very well. The active desktop search is quick and useful (this is becoming a standard for all operating systems it seems, and with good reason), and I really like the media player they show.

Looking at the post here, I would have to say that this OS for now is not even comparable to Linux or even Windows in regards to compatability. No JAVA support. No USB support. No real OpenGL support. This has a long way to go. And I don't think they will get there just based off of a few well written desktop search apps.
