Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

SkyOS is a new proprietary operating system (i.e. you will have to pay for it). It's still in Beta, but it does look very interesting - they've done everything from scratch, apparently (even if the icons are the same as those used by KDE).
I guess it seems like a halfway house between Windows and Mac OS X, so I reckon they might have a winner if the predicted demise of Microsoft on the desktop comes about. I mean, if you were to move away from Windows you would choose a Mac if you had enough funds. However, if you didn't have a bundle of cash and you wanted to re-use your PC hardware then SkyOS might make a fairly compelling alternative to Linux, especially if it's easy, multimedia-ready and well supported from the off.
Check out the video of SkyOS in action.
