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.
i'd love to see serious alternatives to *nix and windows on the x86 architecture, i am an avid fan of skyOS true, but i also enjoy seeing the development and progression of Syllable. it would be good if we could put to rest this Syllable Vs SkyOS, both have their strong points.
