Tired of endless Windows security problems? Intrigued by Linux's power but discouraged by its complexity? Tempted by Mac OS but not thrilled with the hardware cost? If so, you might want to investigate the growing bunch of hobbyist OSes -- Syllable, SkyOS, Haiku, MenuetOS, Visopsys, ReactOS and others. Syllable is perhaps the most promising of them all; it's a maturing open source desktop OS with an evolving kernel & device driver range, and is targeted at the home/small-office user.

Heh, look at all the SkyOS nerds saying Syllable is pointless
As of right now, there's no real point to using syllable on the desktop, but in the future, there will be. I doubt major commercial applications will ever get ported, but I do think we'll see a thriving OSS community for this little OS that could.
People always complain about the lack of an OSS desktop operating system, or how the linux DE's just do not do the job - well here's your solution, get involved!
