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.
This is what happens when a company don't listen to the market but rather what they wanna do themselves. This is exactly what I feared all along. yT is sort of vapor... I'm not even sure they have access to sources but rather just remove and append new software. That could be the reason to why they decide not to fix things like they should have.
I will most likely buy it anyway assuming they support GeForce 4, but my heart and hope goes to OBOS.
If only some more kernelhaxxors could join the group...
