So, you argue, that these OSes like AROS are really good yet nobody uses them?

Or perhaps you're drawing massive presumptions and converting 'promise' into 'good OS'.

The reality is that these OSes are *not* usable for the *vast* majority of people without a *lot* of tail chasing. People are interested but not interested in wasting countless hours on beta or even alpha operating systems. There's enough unfinished software out there absorbing our collective time. The majority of us do not have time to add an OS to that list.

So don't be dispirited. I guarrantee you that when Syllable, Haiku, and AROS come of age, they will regain the cult followings and more. They are just not of age yet, so don't assume that they never will have users, because you are frankly wrong.
