10:26 AM EST 		This article covers just FOSS or free as in free beer operating systems. Still, it's an interesting list for those who want to check out different alternatives just for the sake of it. A rich list of apps won't be available for any of these.

In the commercial arena I'd bet most people have never heard of eComStation, put out by Serenity Systems. They probably have heard of the OS by the name it bore when it was an IBM product: OS/2. Yep, kids, OS/2 is still being developed, albeit under a different name. If it wasn't so darned expensive I'd be tempted.
