Let's face it, the most important, truly alternative, hobby operating systems that are somewhat usable today are three: MenuetOS, SkyOS and AtheOS. All three are hobby, open source OSes, written from people who enjoy coding low level programming. Read more about the differences between these OSes and which one you might want to try out.

> For AtheOS, have you included all of the available third-party drivers?
Yes.
> OO != OS GUI Design
Yes, we know that, thank you for your insightful correction (NOT). This is not what I mean. I mean that MenuetOS does not have "classes" or objects or whatever, that you can easily *inherit* a universal look for all the apps. And this is the reason why all MenuetOS apps look so different and isolated from each other.
> "It is fully C++" What on earth is that supposed to mean? Because it's written in C++ it's good?
No, it means that it is written fully in C++. Not more, no less. AND CUT THE FREAKING SARCASM.
> Eugenia's nemesis, Pascal
What are you talking about? Pascal was the first ever language I used at college and on my first PC.
If you freaking going to use my name on this board, use it correctly. Not by talking BULLSH*T.
You might think that I am the "editor" of this site that has no feelings and that I can be a target that can not be hurt. NEWS BREAK. I am also a reader of this site, and most of all, a human being.
So be careful how you talk about me or other editors around here. I had enough of all this mindless trolling the past 3 years on BeNews and here. If you talk, talk *nicely*. Or don't talk at all.
> but this article is shoddy, inaccurate and rushed and gives no useful information what so ever.
For you, maybe. But for users who have never used theses OSes, this a good oveall synopsis of what these OSes too. And I don't find it innacurate, not one bit. I am not taking back not even 1 word I wrote. I meant everything I wrote.
