Looks like linux (SMOS) is an OS dedicated to scrypt mining. I think this might be a good place to start, at least everyone collaborating in the right place will push development of better mining software. [Death to Microsoft]

SMOS is built with old drivers on a PITA to use platform. I tried SMOS 3 times, it hashed slower, I had more problems remote viewing the machine unless I wanted just SSH, but wtf this isn't 1996 anymore. The only advantage in using linux over Win 8 was being able to use more than 5 cards, and possible the cost. For the trouble, I'll stick with 5 cards per machine (some have gotten 6), and pay the price for the O/S. It's so much less of a headache, and my control over the cards and the machine is much more refined.
This is a new OS and of course it will not be perfect right out of the box. If people like you tried helping the opensource community maybe the OS would have more features you want. Instead of trying to use a bounty that is really not a lot and wasting time taking on a Project by your self. How is working by your self more efficient than a open source team? Hello World, Linux is by far an easier system to use once you know how, not to mention is less destructive on your HDD. Some of you hacks would know that if you would break the Microsoft umbilical and learn how to use a computer. Please go on telling me more about how you use Windows 8 an OS for touch devices not geared at all for mining and how this is better than a OS that is always being developed for for mining only? Start emailing the team developing the OS and tell them what you want, hell give them your donation!
