You only have to patch if you want to run the SkyOS apps on windows.

The API has probably either changed or been updated since the SkyOS support was added.

Windows NT was also available for Alpha

I'd like to see some work on the UI. Especially what you said about One folder up in explorer.
Also, being able to copy files and so on would be nice.

Yea it's increasing. News about the 0.2.6 release has recently been posted at a few places like osnews and betanews which is bringing a lot of people here right now.

The biggest problem for me with the original is that it doesn't feel Windows. It feels more like a linux application.
Both mf's and crappish's designs feels like Windows.

If that wouldn't happen, just include it in the packet manager installer and let users choose to install it or not (i...

I really really like the UI by crappish!
