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.
Nope. There's no telling what the status of it was, it was a leak. It wasn't released be Be Inc. at all.
And looking at these screenshots and reading this review really made me feel a tad nostalgic and miss my old PC and BeOS. But I'm pretty happy running MacOS X, It's not perfect but it does all I need now.
