SkyOS - un proiect ... care nu se mai dezvolta.

Azi am citit stirea, desi ea data din 31 ianuarie 2009. SkyOS nu se mai dezvolta. Cititi aici articolul original de pe site-ul oficial www.skyos.org:

The speed at which new hardware and technology gets developed has increased dramatically in the last few years. Trying to catch up with development of frameworks, drivers, applications, test, etc. got way more complicated than years ago. At that time, you developed a standard IDE driver and SkyOS would boot on 99% of all computers. There was only one way interrupts got routed, devices could be accessed, etc. More important, there was just a single CPU, no hyperthreading, mulitcores, multi cpus, etc. (at least not for computers the usual home user owned). A GUI was easy, in contrast to today, where you must have a 3D accelerated GUI. If you don’t have one your OS is said to be old, out of date. You must have WIFI, USB, Bluetooth, etc.

Catching up with the development for all this is just not possible anymore, at least, not for one person or at least, not for me.
Currently, SkyOS development is on halt, and I’m trying to find a way to get out of this unpromising situation. At this moment I only see four resorts:

- Open source SkyOS
- Make SkyOS available for free
- Specialize on a yet to define niche
- Stop SkyOS development

Eventually, I have to admit that I underestimated the speed at which new technolgy develops and establishes. And, a while ago I was able to spend more than 6 hours a day developing for SkyOS, for years. Recently, as my first baby was born this of course changed which made the entire developing situation even worth. Again I underestimated a few, personal, real life factors and their impact on developing.
I’m sorry if I dissapointed you, but I guess you favor me being honest about the current situation.

Anyway, I will do my best to find the best possible solution for SkyOS and its future.

Pro: are si omul viata personala; daca va deschide SkyOS pentru comunitatea open-source, va avea numai de castigat. Contra: trebuia din timp sa gaseasca o solutie, nu sa lase proiectul balta.

Sincer, nu am reusit niciodata sa testez acest sistem de operare. Am reusit doar sa ma multumesc cu imagini, clip-uri video si review-uri.

p.s.: pentru cei care nu au inteles (va recomand un google translate ;) ), Robert Szeleney spune ca nu mai poate continua dezvoltarea proiectului SkyOS pentru ca nu poate face fata vitezei cu care se dezvolta tehnologia (hyperthreading, multicore cpu's ...etc), plus ca acum are si un bebe de crescut ;)) . Autorul a afirmat ca are doar 4 variante vis-a-vis de proiect: sa il ofere open-source, sa il dea free, sa ii traseze niste nise de dezvoltare (un fel de planing?!) sau sa renunte la dezvoltarea SkyOS.
