Did anyone here ever use SkyOS in the past? Support ended back in 2009 but the first public release was way back in 1997. Looking at the screenshots it looks pretty dang cool, it's too bad SkyOS couldn't stick around. But since Linux ended up being the most popular Unix like OS, I guess it just couldn't keep up with the Linux distros at the time. (And Windows of course was dominating the scene.) SkyOS was originally free too but then in 2003 they started charging for it so that probably didn't help either.
