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
Mmm, I never heard anyone say it's pointless, I can only remember some saying SkyOS is more advanced on certain points. But anyway, this is a story on Syllable, not SkyOS.
Syllable really is just as interesting as SkyOS is, with the difference being that I, personally, see more potential in SkyOS, but that's just me. Time will tell which one has more potential. But, of course the success of one doesn't have to interfere with the succes of another.
Syllable uses a different development model, has different ideals, and therefore different goals. There's a place for both. Conclusion: no need to diss SkyOS or Syllable.
