OSNews, Generic OSes There are quite a few operating systems which have moved beyond the simple hobby operating system stage, onto a more lasting plane of existence. AROS, ReactOS, SkyOS, Syllable, Haiku; they're no longer basement products, coded by a single programer - they are now projects in which a lot of people have invested time, and possibly money too. They won't go away any time soon. The last few days have seen news on three of these systems: ReactOS, SkyOS, and Syllable.

I think I can safely say that no one that I know from outside this forum would know anything about any of them.

Do you know anyone that reads John Dvorak? I know he has his detractors, but he just lead off his Inside Track column this month in PC Magazine talking about ReactOS.

He said that everything since Windows NT has been Windows NT. Microsoft is standing still in terms of new development, so they present a good target to be picked off by ReactOS. I think he made a very good point.

Yes, I really think the time is right for ReactOS to finish off Windows...
