hello, im starting an os review association to review alternate operating systems for computercraft
grade scale:
security: least 0 most 20 points – encryption, passwords. and private files
funtionality: 0 to 20 points – support for printers and disk drives will add points to this
developer perks: 0 to 20 points – APIs and editors for developers
originality: 0 to 10 points – copied UIs will receive less points than a more original os
looks: 0 to 10 points –nobody likes bland colors for UIs (like windows 95 gray) these points go to colors and just overall design beauty
X-factor: 0 to 20 points –any os features that make it stand out from the large mass of operating systems

note: crashes will subtract a point from the X-factor score

please pm me or post here if you want your os reviewed
im currently using cc emulator to rate and http doesnt seem to be working so all http required OSes will have to wait for the next cc update

I'd be interested to know what mine gets. I'll be releasing a bug fix in a few days, I could give that to you if you want.

Flickering?! Unacceptable! *boom*
No, but that sounds like a real problem.

Whats you definition of an 'OS' then?
It's really the best we can do with the restrictions.

You can modify the rom and let the users install the lua folder of CC…

You can review my OS now. It's not completely done, but whatever.
