It says it's a 15 day trial or am I missing something?

Can't understand those icon programs. There is not enough with paint and any program to save .ico (Irfanview for example)

how would you draw transperrant in paint?

Irfanview convert any image format to .ico and it leaves you to choose the transparent color on it

I heard about SkyOS before, it is very interesting.

Wow that does look impressive. Not sure if the 'run of the mill' computer user would switch OS just to escape MS's clutches though.

Makes me wonder how the hell you would even begin to write an OS?
