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.

No.
The BeOS source code costs about $2 million dollars (this is how much PalmSource asked the last time to the people attempted to buy it). Blender only costed $100,000 in order to open source it, and even then, it took months to gather thant sum. There is no chance in hell that the small community of BeOS can buy BeOS. As for YellowTAB, I think they got the source by other (yes, legal) means, that I won't reveal here.
