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.

OK, <scratches his head> this article doesn't make much sense, the conclusion doesn't support the premise:

Well, maybe its a new twist to writing style, but who am I to judge, hehehhe
I agree with the original statement that Syllable holds promise, but if you are ready to use Linux now, then there are plenty of unbloated and fast "finished" distributions available today. A quick tour of http://www.distrowatch.com will enlighten most people.
I apologize if I sound condescending, it's not my intention, I'm just hoping to provide some insight
...on those lines I would like to introduce you to my "almost finished" speedy OS of choice: http://www.cobind.com It's only in beta release, but it beats the pants of many "completed" OS's.
Good luck with Syllable
