I fully agree with Bernd Korz that ZETA isn't an alternative for Mac or Windows.
I can see some minor fixes compared to BeOS 5 like that you can use 2 GB of RAM (with Mac or Windows you can use 4 GB and even more on some systems) but nothing that would really close "the gap".
I like the BeOS GUI, cause it was well designed and a good piece of work for it's time. ZETA looks like some kids painted something with paintbrush during breakfest.
I can't really believe that anyone with a sense for good software would recommend this product.
And by the way, yellowTAB always promises that there will be "R1 in a few weeks" since October 2003 - I'm fed up with those guys. It's a shame that BeOS was taken up by them. Death would be better than that.
