Syllable, AtheOS 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.

RE: OS perplexity

..this article doesn't make much sense, the conclusion doesn't support the premise:

This is a website called OSNews, where a lot of people who are interested in OS development hang out. The article is targetted at that audience. People looking for an interesting OS to try out and hack on are encouraged to try Syllable. People who just want an OS for everyday use are going to have to wait a little while longer.
