First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

Comments involving having the cow, as in the case of MacOS, does not exist in the BeOS vocubalary. Obos project is proving and has proven the contuniation of the BeOS ideals is very possible. It also proves the technology is very viable, the engineering is solid.
To put it in the best way: BeOS(and invariably OBOS), possesses the ability to have the Networking of UNIX, the 3d graphics of IRIX, The superior audio of the Amiga Operating System, The ease and familiarity thought only to be found in windows, and mac OS, a liscensing similar to the MIT/BSD lisceses, the commercial packaging appeal of 300 dollar OS suites with the bundling of either non- beos community centered efforts like OpenOffice, or with more BeOS community efforts like the GoBe Productive 3 dual liscense schedule.
Additionally, I think it's tougher and cooler anyhow. I didn't used to use it--- I've been a user since 1998. There is a bright future in all environments and markets. I still use it.
