This will be released as LF2SP8 (Service Pack 8). It won't include many new features, however, it will include a GUI overhaul.
This update may take a while to get all of the features ported over to a new graphics system.
Thoughts? Let us know.

I've been playing around with this OS a bit, I can't really find a use for it (paint is fun though)
Along with playing around with it, I compared it to my own os and OneOS.
Pros:
The structure of the files in explorer is very nicely done and could easily be understood by anyone. One thing that is bugging me though, is the fact that the main OS file itself doesn't have a name that represents the OS file.
But that's not really my business either way, if that's what works for the developer, that's what you run with.
Conclusion:
Minecrosoft, you did a good job on this, but there's polishing work to be done. I quite liked it and I'm willing to come back when the next service pack comes around. You've earned yourself a follower who's more clingy than anyone you've ever known before. If I had to rate it, It's easily a strong 7. (out of 10)

Thank you for the positive review. Here's my response to everything you said in the cons and the paragraph following:
- Shutdown and Restart are indeed messy; they're still as they were from the first release. Probably something I should update.
- Startup settings don't work? Hm. I'll have to take a look at that; I think I know what's causing it.
- UI is something I've tried to mess around with, and with Service Pack 8 (a little while away) the UI will be neater
- It starts on page 2 because page 1 is the LimeFyre apps. I could make it display some different text (page-1, and if the page is really 1, it hides the page counter or something)
- The os file was originally ".lf" but I found "bios.lua" easier to work with, just because... I dunno.

To improve, I'd say
1) better touch feedback (make buttons flash, basically)
2) multitasking!!!!!
3) try to make it do everything CraftOS can do, but add the option to do more

Also, Service Pack 9 announcement!
Lots of bugfixes that were created in SP 7-8, a few UI changes, and a new installer. Should be (should being keyword) released later today!
What would you like to see in SP9?
Edit: here's a few screenies of the new update:

It should take one or two rows of pixels AT THE MOST.
Seriously, it is one of my least favorite parts of the OS.

Sure I could. I'll see how it looks and whether I like it or not.
EDIT: I do like it. Consider it done.
SECOND EDIT: Also, good idea. It gives you more space for more tiles!

This update is completly written from scratch, and is running on CrazedProgrammer's Surface API, so screen flickering has been eliminated. />
What are your thoughts?

And there is major under the hood stuff: It's completely rewritten.
Again, Insider Previews will be available when it's in stable working condition.

What do you mean by custom read? Do you mean loading? Because that works.

Not a huge change in UI, but it's got new buttons, interface objects, and it's on surface, as well as a library to manage all this.
My rebuttal to this was Windows 95 and 98 didn't have a large UI change.

my rebuttal to this is that Minecraft has changed a lot but there isn't a Minecraft 2 yet

Well, no, but indev to infdev to alpha to beta to full.
EDIT: I saw the little thing you added in the Quote. xD
I still think it's a big enough update that it get it's own version number.
