"Tired of endless Windows security problems? Intrigued by Linux's power
but discouraged by its complexity? Tempted by Mac OS but not thrilled with
the hardware cost? If so, you might want to investigate the growing bunch
of hobbyist OSes -- Syllable, SkyOS, Haiku, MenuetOS, Visopsys, ReactOS
and others. Syllable is perhaps the most promising of them all; it's a
maturing open source desktop OS with an evolving kernel & device driver
range, and is targeted at the home/small-office user."

Menuet is cool. Fits on a 1.44 FDD!

I have played with Menuet. It fits on a 1.44MB floppy disk using no special
filesystem. (i.e. you can freely change disk contents). It is good but it
lacks a compiler that isn't assembly language (even BASIC is better than
nothing), the hard drive functions are a bit buggy, and sometimes my
mouse/keyboard go crazy while using it.

He would stay up late every night and wonder if there was a dog.

versions on www.bebits.com

Thanks for any further info.

I tried the Beos PE that installed in a folder inside windows years ago,
if I understand this correctly you can make a live CD, similar to
Knoppix with this version?
Thanks

Yes you can, but they also have it so you can install it without
windows. You need to read about it it fully. It is based on the
Windows version, but can be installed without it. All the software is
either free or demo.
