Even Dial up is sufficient for Beta testers.
I said this really just F'in around. I thought it was a VERY unrealistic comment...now I don't know what is real and unreal now, thanks nn, lol.Quote:

And if this is public info, could you edit it onto the first post for later people please?
basically we are attempting to set of a short list of testers. Who will be issued a version (or More) for which they test their normal day to day applications, such as video games, media players, web browsers, firewalls, and the like.Quote:

Are there any screen shots? I want to see what it looks like.
think this http://wowgame.free.fr/temp/BenchOS-2.jpg
but with alot of changes to how it works.
i would really like to be one of the beta testers! shoot me a pm :)
How did you get Windows source code? So what are the differences between XSOS and Windows?
windows is DOS based, XSOS is Unix based
Windows is about User friendly, XSOS is about performance and features.
Windows Supports DRM and trusted Platform, we believe it is a violation of individual rights.
Windows is about making alot of money, XSOS is about helping people out.
Windows will cost you hundreds of dollars retail, XSOS is free to share, Use and distribute.

Thanks for sharing with us ur awesome art
This sounds great!!! cant wait to test it :D
Unix based:eek: Holy shi+.
I got three empty partitions, and a 4GB flash drive to help test these nn, so send ALL your versions to me!!!
So you mentioned that you had to agree with M$ to make the code closed right? So us laymen can't beat up your OS ourselves:stick:
if you would like to make an OS better than our, please go for it. It'll make things more interesting. :toast:Quote:

well XSOS like windows is skin able, so that if you would like you can design a different appearance for it. So if you have any graphic art you would like us to look at, let me know and we will consider it.Quote:

Include this as an alternate for those who want the authentic vista look. Maybe?
Possibly but then again it isn't completely impossible for a later XSOS edition have our version of Aero
then how the hell will I be able to run 3dmark....
For people who want a different looking windows nn_step said it should be compatible with most windows programs that means Astonshell and other shell altering programs should work fine for you.
Oh shiz, think of having the GUI look like Vista, cept kinda dark and cunning, and where the start button is (windows button now) it would be a sick 3D-like X. I think I will try to put something together. Has anyone else submitted anything to ya nn?
Thus far we have had a couple backrounds submitted but no icon work
id love to try it out...looks great
but is it XSOS Windows programs/apps/games compatible? Since it is Unix based...
