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.

You know I was going to give you a long disertation on what I did and didn't like about Syllable. But that really isn't necessary. Although it is fast and easy to navigate and generally easy to find setting etc. I found that the user expernce lacking. I find the SkyOS user experence much more to my liking at this time. I do however have a geat deal of respect for the devs as they were very kind to me when I was trying to test it out. I am looking foward to the next release so I can see all the changes. You seem think that I was bashing Syllable, I am not. I am looking for a desktop replacement. Linux is not that for me. SkyOS seems to promising and appears that it will fill my needs much sooner than Syllable. But like I said before if they were both sitting in front of me, ready to be used for daily work, I would use Syllable.
