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.

I have really been hoping to replace my current music creation setup with Zeta, the purpose I bought BeOS for in the first place. At one point MidiMan announced it would be writing drivers for the Delta 1010 for BeOS, but as far as I can tell, nothing came of it. I was never able to buy a midi sequencer/audio recorder aside from tracker or drum-machine type apps.
I hope Zeta can steer this where BeOS said they were going; a Media OS. I am sure that means different things to different people, but to me it means running my midi and audio studio.
