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.

Have you an idea of how many users downloaded and easily installed the Personal Edition on their desktop? Hundreds thousands. A free edition was a good idea in order to attract new developers (count how many Java/UNIX hackers are approaching Darwin/Mac OS X) but for the declining Be platform has not worked.
