yellowTab announced the "Complete Zeta Solution": Both in laptop (Centrino) and desktop form (P4 and AthlonXP), yellowTab will sell, to Europe only, complete and compatible hardware systems. All systems come with a 2 year warranty and estimated delivery is 10-14 days. The systems will ship with YellowTAB Zeta 1.0-RC1, and buyers will be able to upgrade to 1.0-Final for free (only shipping will be paid extra). Also, as a launching promotion, and for a limited time only, you can order the Deluxe Edition Special Bundle, where along with Zeta Deluxe Edition 1.0-RC1, you also receive a free Zeta t-shirt. UPDATE: YellowTAB sent us a screenshot of Zeta. Font rendering is much improved since the betas.

I wonder what font renderer Zeta is using? Is it FontFusion? If so, I'd have to say that even the new screenshots don't look like very good output by FontFusion standards.
Ah, that's one of the things I miss about BeOS. It wasn't hostile to technical users. The system itself achieved a parity between GUI and CLI that even OS X can't touch. It was easy to use because it was simple, not because there were all sorts of artificial barriers between you and the system. And the BeNewsletters and API docs gave tons of insight into the inner-workings of the OS. I think the OpenBeOS guys are doing a great job keeping the Newsletters alive, I wish Zeta would do something similar.
