There are quite a few operating systems which have moved beyond the simple hobby operating system stage, onto a more lasting plane of existence. AROS, ReactOS, SkyOS, Syllable, Haiku; they're no longer basement products, coded by a single programer - they are now projects in which a lot of people have invested time, and possibly money too. They won't go away any time soon. The last few days have seen news on three of these systems: ReactOS, SkyOS, and Syllable.

I know people assume they use WINE code, but that isn't really true. They use WINE as a reference point, but all the code in ReactOS is meant to be original. If their code resembles WINE or is an exact copy anywhere then it will really surprise the lead developers. They share an allegiance with the WINE developers in spirit and goal, just not necessarily in code.
