Star Celebrating Ten Years of BeOS

BeOS & Derivatives PalmSource ain't gonna make a birthday party for BeOS but it would only be fair if the rest of us, [ex-]users, remember the "media OS" as the innovative operating system of the late '90s, still used by some. Depending on how you count, it was early 1994 when the first BeOS version left the Be, Inc. offices and headed toward Be's "partners" and "developers". It was 1994 when the word started to spread around among geeks about this "new and exciting" OS and soon, external devs got access to it.

I do not understand why people use Windows, unless it can do something essential that BeOS cannot do. Even more so when BeOS is scrutinized according to such a high degree of purist standards. Is Windows a "retard-OS", to be scrutinized by lower standards? And is the outcome of a double-standard comparison enough to "boot BeOS every once-twice a month or so"?
