Journal Thom Holwerda's Journal: Wikipedia Crap 2
Quick post: a completely useless anti-SkyOS action is currently taking place at Wikipedia because of the SkyOS article. Some people over there consider it as an advertisement; in reply to which I linked to the Linux and BeOS articles, stating that they are just as an advertisement. I just named, for instance, that in the BeOS one, there is no mention at all of BeOS' horrible networking, whether with net_server or BONE.
Secondly, I think that Cobind is turning into a disappointment-- I had hoped that they designed their own theme-- which they haven't (yet?). Now I reverted to the PhotonUI theme. Luckily it's based off of 6.2
Update: Cobind is slowly turning into something useable, actually. Replaced all the standard themes to my liking, because the standard themes looked very CDE-like. And no, that's bad.
I'm currently replacing some apps; cobind uses FireFox and Thunderbird as the default applications; I prefer consistency in my GUI and therefore I am currently installing Evolution and that Gnome browser (bad: I forgot the name!)

OSS does extremely well on the application side (GIMP, OpenOffice, Mozila & Co, to name a few), though. However, that is a matter of opinion and therefore we are both right, in that respect.
My point is, the closed-sourceness of SkyOS can be either an advantage, o
