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.

It begs the question of how it will compete in such a crowded OS market place.
We'll compete just like anyone else. We're ahead of the competition and hopefully that can continue.
..I just don't see a need for yet another proprietary operating system.
Syllable is hardly proprietory. It is Open Source, it is POSIX.1, 2 and 4 compliant, it uses a lot of GNU userland and toolchain applications. It is about as proprietory as Linux. I suspect you mean "different" but that is the case for any new product. Different is not inherently bad.
Syllable is "Just Another OS."
You'll have to excuse my scepticism but this website is called "OSNews". Out of interest, what do you find interesting when you're looking at an OS?
