Linux is not an OS, it's simply a kernel just like NewOS (so far anyway).

There is as far as I know not a single LinuxOS just a bunch of distros. Either way, it get's disqualified by the same reason as BSD's (how many houndred are there BTW?) it's mature work and not especially unique kernelwise (*Nix).

My vote went to OpenBeOS, it's very promising since it's far behind SkyOS and Syllable which is currently running and will probably pick up the fight within 12 months.

MenuetOS is extremely cool, but I wouldn't say it looks promising as they indeed do it as a hobby not for being mainstream or usable IMHO!
