AROS, Haiku and Syllable are the three "hyper-alternative" OSes that show promise of being someday usable and useful. AROS is especially cool as it allows for a large subset of "properly written" Amiga apps to be run with native x86 performance with what basically amounts to a simple recompile. If only they would make the effort to "self-host" AROS's kernel building (which, given than GCC runs on AROS is probably a fairly simple task), people might even begin to take it seriously.
