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 would surely be interested in trying Syllable out some day even though I'd prefer a working flash plugin and a somewhat updated webbrowser (preferably Firefox).
However, I don't wanna be an evil critic and play down on you coders, you do an excellent job. But isn't the "Windows alike" top on the windows something that you could consider completely turning away from? For some reason all hobbyOSes seems to be really scared of doing something different tm.
Howabout just eliminating the top bar completely and trying to figure something else out or place it on the side or whatever just to stand out a bit????
Besides from "looks", I sure hope you guys get more people onboard...
