Also they are trying to make them aware that sophesticated smart phones face the same threats that make the PCs vulnerable from the internet.

Now you can talk about something else other than a Windows BSod or Linux Scripting…..

Well I will give ye a new array of Operating Systems that would have been otherwise gone unnoticed….

AmigaOS 4.1

The older version stole our hearts and souls with its genius innocence. But the AmigaOS new version is strictly business now.

>It runs on Specific Power-PC based H/w P/fs

>A Company called ACube is currently publicizing it.

>It is a proprietary product and closed source one too.

Kill Linux…?

Haiku…

Originally known as the OpenBeOS, the name was changed to Haiku recently.

Haiku is the continual development of the BeOS system and is compatible with the software written for the same…

It is Open Source Project and an MIT licensed one…

ReactOS

This is compatible with Microsoft Windows s/w. The kernel is new and written from scratch but it is using WINE to run Windows s/ws….

A Window ally???

Nah…

Coz its free and open source…:)

And moreover its in its Alpha state…

Syllable

Taken from AtheOS, this was launched as a free and open-source OS.

Its said to be light-weight and quick at its job…

Its registered under general public license…

SkyOS

Its a closed source project by Robert Zheleny and his associates…

Its easy to use and some popular applications like FireFox are made to run on it…

Its in its Beta Stage…

MorphOS

Light-weight and Media Centric OS which runs on Power-PC platforms…

It is said to be inspired by Amiga and it runs Amiga applications too…

It is closed source and runs on mixed Platforms…

AROS Research Operating System..

>Light Weight

>Open Source

>Compatible with AmigaOS 3.1

>Runs on Power-PC and IBMPC platforms

MenuetOS

Written entirely in Assembly language, that makes it fast and furious…

It has a small kernel, though it encapsulates a Graphical Desktop, Networking and several other features…

It is Open Source and Freeware and comes in 32 and 64 bit versions.

DexOS

An initial impression will be of a PC acting like a gaming console.

The kernel itself is so small that it fits into a floppy drive on compression, and it is for game lovers…

Thus the OS can be booted from several various devices…like DOS..

It is free and Open Source.

Visopsys

It was a hobby project by one called as Andy McLaughlin..

It stands for Visual Operating System…

It is Open Source and has General Public License…

Still to roll

Many projects have been taken up passionately by developers all around the world. I think that it is now easy to deduce some possible revelations that I believe would be accepted by you readers…

The world is going Open Source and Free…We find this concept from the variety of the OS’s that I have given in my post. More so, because they are free or in terms, Freeware, I think its safe to say that in the future, Opensource projects will receive appreciation from all and apprehension from Microsoft.

Microsoft’s internal research on Closed Source OS Midori, the one that is said to be the successor of Windows, may get a dead hit in the market if this open source revolution aggravates.Its time Mr. Balmer did something sensible and switched over to opensource…just kidding.
