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.

Euginia you are perfectly right when you say that there will be no "version 2" if we don't buy version 1.
Well, so be it. A long time ago I invested a lot of time and trouble (plus some cash) in writing programs for a commercial operating system. Suddenly the company switched focus, threw the developers out in the cold and eventually was sold to another company.
Well, guess what if YellowTab goes under its the same old situation all over again.
I am not betting my time on a closed source operating system, I'd rather wait for OpenBeOS, even if it means running the risk that the OpenBeOS people might never deliver anything.
But if it turns out to be a really good product I might consider investing in a copy of it, just to play with.
