EyeOS might be technically wonderful, but it is a corporate/commercial/pay thing, so that makes it pretty much completely irrelevant to me. But... given the fact that when I clicked the "What's eyeOS" link under "About Us" at the bottom of the page only to be met with a "404 not found" page , I guess I'm just a tad skeptical about the whole venture :D The "academic" one, I dunno, it's just weird and sluggish. The dead one... well I guess that just speaks for itself.
Anyone know of any other contenders? Anyone have any thoughts on mine? Cheers!
