I am one of those remaining BeOS addicts. I love the BeOS' responsiveness, its short boot-up/shutdown times and its, well, overall feel. But no one can deny the fact: BeOS 5.0.x PE is getting old. Very old, with a kernel build-time of around May 2000.

Is it a true multiuser OS? Or something like win98 user profiles? eg. to install something system wide do you need an admin password?

So, for whom is PhOS a good choice? Well, for anyone running an "older" version of BeOS, who does not want to buy Zeta (yet) and who is not offended by the legality issues.
Thom that's funny. Are we to be offended by Yellowtab selling an illegal version? I think the guy who makes PhOS was against them for selling something that Yellowtab has not declared as legal by providing proof.
