BeOS & Derivatives 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.

I think the guy who makes PhOS was against them for selling something that Yellowtab has not declared as legal by providing proof.

The majority of justice systems I know of consider you to be "innocent until proven guilty". That is you are legal until proven otherwise, you do not need to be "declared legal".

Saying something is illegal without being able to prove it is putting yourself in line for being sued for libel.

BeOS is dead
An OS is dead OS when nobody is using it, updating it or developing on it.

The fact there are distributions, people using them and developing on them pretty much proves BeOS is alive and well.

Dan0 Vs dano

Case closed :-)

Stuff about Dano being incomplete...
Incomplete it may be but this thing is one of if not THE most stable OS I've ever used. (I have plain Dano, not PhOS).

.NET
What exactly is .NET going to provide that any modern system today can't already do?
