No, BeOS is not dead as many will speed to the forums and proclaim.
YellowTAB's Zeta is the true inheritor of BeOS 5's fortune, as it is based directly on Dano/EXP's codeline (which was supposed to be BeOS 6 but was never finished as Be sold its IP to Palm). At last, I got my hands on Zeta Beta-5a, and here is what I found and think of it so far. You might need to have some experience with BeOS in order to follow this article, but screenshots are included to make it easier for everyone.
Hey Eugenia, just a thought. If such a small company as Zeta can buy the source code of BeOS, it isn't *that* expensive. Just like the open source community did with Blender, maybe that same community could buy the BeOS source code? Hell, I'd immediately pay 300$ for it to help this. It would give a huge boost to projects such as OpenBeOS... Anybody share this thought?
