Scratch OS

Yo guys! I've just started an OS series called Scratch OS. At the moment, there is only one version (1.1 Beta). There used to be an alpha version (1.0) but nobody viewed it so it got removed.

Here are the current features of the Beta:
-Fully working start menu (Alpha didn't have it)
-Two music tracks in media player (Alpha only had one and no stop button)
-Two websites in the browser (Not much to do yet) (Alpha just had errors)
-A game (very glitchy) (No games in Alpha)

Future versions will show and hide (I just found that there was the show and hide function) sprites rather than switch to an inactive costume (tiny 1x1 black dot) so screens will be much tidier.

Future Plans:
Scratch OS 1.5 Professional
Scratch Server 2011
Scratch OS 2.0 Beta
Scratch OS 2.1 Professional

Next in line: Scratch OS 1.5 Beta and Professional.
Features:
-Much tidier screens
-Data storage
-Better Graphics
-More improved web browser
-Working e-mail software
-Glitch-free games (hopefully)
-Better Apps

Re: Scratch OS

Scratch OS 1.0 (this was a pilot) and 1.1 removed because I personally didn't like them that much. Scratch OS 1.5 is up. Next in line: Professional.
New features of Pro: More memory so you can store more documents; more music tracks to listen to; improved calculator with more functions; antivirus protection.

Coming soon 1st January 2011 (possibly earlier): Scratch OS 2.0.
New features: Improved Graphics (using Fireworks and MS Paint rather than just Scratch Paint Editor itself); More memory plus hard drive; More use of the "download" system; Brand new apps; More realistic features.

Also coming in 2011: Scratch Server 2011.
Features: Multiple Accounts; Ability to network with other computers.
Removed features in Server editions: Gaming.
