== Reception == Although SkyOS includes many interesting features, limited application and hardware support are among its weaknesses (e.g. only a few [[graphics card]]s allow 2D acceleration).<ref name="NewsForge"/> Kernel and drivers updates were solely worked on by Szeleney, and because of this he was unable to keep up with new devices. This was one of the reasons the development ended for this project. In the end, the OS was not able to expand beyond a small albeit dedicated user community. Apart from a short early open source time period, the OS had a proprietary licence with a commercial model based on paid beta-testing. This led to some controversy as SkyOS developers were accused of unauthorized use of open source software. No proof of any wrongdoing was given, but the public image of the OS was tarnished nevertheless.<ref name="root.cz2009-07-13"/>
