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's an Open Source OS. How could anyone complain about it being "another OS"? This really is in the open source spirit. They can take pieces from other systems, and if they develop any interesting bits, other OSs can adopt it.
Their work helps us ALL out. Technically they may not be the best, but their values and goals are just as good as any OS out there.
So basically, how can you insult a fun project like this? You don't have to use it, and no one is saying you should, but to HOPE the project fails (that's the feeling I'm getting) is just stupid.
