"This post is about the desktop operating systems that fly under the radar of most people. We are definitely not talking about Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, or even BSD or Solaris. There are much less mainstream options out there for the OS-curious." Though the article doesn't go into much detail about the OSes, it is a good round up of some of the interesting candidates.

some good Operating systems in that list.
I sincerely hope that AMiga Os can get off the ground properly and that Haiku gets properly released before I'm due to retire.
But of that list, the only OS that I think stands a chance is SKYos. some of the stuff they're doing is truly outstanding - it looks fast, looks very fast and has some lovely features. Trouble seems to be with Skyos though, they're not actively doing anything with it other than developing new and whizzy features.
I think ultimately, if any of that list ever succeeds commercially it will be because they marketed themselves more effectively.
