Visopsys is an alternative OS for PC-compatibles. Version 0.75 is the third update this year, and is particularly focused on hardware, adding USB 3.0 (XHCI) and APIC interrupt controller support, as well as improved USB 2.0 and hub support. Downloads are available from here, and details are available in the change log
Nice to see it has gone further than Syllable OS
When it’ll reach 1.00, what could we expect, trash our Windows or OSX machines ?

Thanks friends. Well, I don’t know if it will ever replace popular OSes, but besides Partition Logic I have some ideas for making it useful in other niche ways, and I’d like to try an experimental new GUI design I thought up years ago. Probably, some people will hate it and others will think it’s neato, but I think that will have to wait for version 2.0.
When it’s got full network support for a few different adapters, and some useful 3rd-party software ported, then I think it’ll be ready to be called 1.0 🙂
But, there are some other things to do in the meantime! Hardware support is getting up to a reasonable standard now, but it has taken a lot of time and effort.
Yep, SyllableOS appears to be stuck.
I am hoping that it will not enter bit-rot like SkyOS. There appear to be quite a number of similarities in overall concept with Haiku that one crazy/intense developer could potentially think of a common set of development tools for both.
One nicely progressing project is MenuetOS which just released 0.99.80 today!
And MonaOS, which is stalling since 2011 :
