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.

Mimicing me...

Instead of mimicing, why don't you try to reply with serious arguments?

yellowTab is two guys jumping around German TVs

One of wich was brave enough to risk his house, and the other one is a banker.

selling stuff made by others.

If you want a legal copy of a newer BeOS, you've to get it from them, sorry.

yellowTab is a two-men company,

Actually, they are about ten (I don't know exactly), and they get their salary.

has a little room,

"little room"? It's an office, it isn't little and it isn't a room.
What did you expect, the Microsoft campus?

there is a seventeen boy as a webmaster,

If you can pay a professional webmaster, you're welcome.

there are other real companies suiting them for selling their product without a formal license

Gobe is a one-man company making no products, but it is a real company. Oh yeah.
And from the yellowTab site: "The problem stems from the fact that he does not wish to send us an invoice for payment. We have made it clear to him that we need this to legally fulfill the terms of the contract."

and they got huge debts.

The fact they got a debt means they got a loan from a bank.

I can imagine the scene: Bernd enters a bank, calls the manager, and says: "Hi, I'm Bernd and I want to sell software, but I haven't any right to do this. Would you like to fund me?". The manager replies: "What if they catch you?". Bernd: "Nah, nobody cares about this software". Manager: "Ok then. How much do you need?"

Someone should turn this into a comic strip.

The simple thought of all this being done illegally is an unavoidable suspect.

And I suspect your car is stolen. Can you give us an evidence that you bought it?
