Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago.

Not that the whole "dead OS" line is really relevant to this news article, but I just can't resist saying a few things.
If you define "dead" as "there are people in the world still using it," then fine, enjoy calling Beta, Laserdiscs, and Colecovision "not dead." 99.999% of the world will simply laugh at you, but if that's the stubborn definition you want to adopt, fine. The more reasonable people of the world would define technology to be "dead" when it stops all significant advancement. Sometimes great technology loses; the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can get on with your life.
The thought of OpenBeOS has certainly breathed new life into the (dying) BeOS community, but the vast majority of the remaining faithful seem to expect a fully working open-source BeOS clone within only a few months, whereas in reality it will be years, if ever. How many great bits of technology will these people allow to pass them by because they're blinded by a dream?
Sure, it's not offical but if it looks, runs and feels like Be's BeOS - who cares? etc. etc.
I give the OpenBeOS guys all the kudos in the world for their efforts, but we have yet to see a single shred of proof that this new system will look, feel, and run like the BeOS. Certainly, we can maintain hope that it will, but it's definitely not something we can just assume will happen, like so many BeOS fans are doing. Not to mention that by the time they're finished--assuming that even comes--will we really want the OS to look and feel like the BeOS? How far will the competition have taken us by that point?
