The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

Sorry Scot but I'm not going to spend big bucks for an entirely new computer that doesn't run PC apps, is slower and goes backwards as far as file systems is concerned. If I'm missing something in linux and BeOS I can always reboot to Windows. Sure there's virtual pc but it doesn't work for games and you pay more to make your computer slower. I might consider a mac if it came with a card with an athlon or pentium so that I can run PC apps natively but again this costs serious money (if it even existed!) And I would be trading the monopoly of Windows with the monopoly of Apple-you can't get a mac that's not made by Apple and there's a price for that lack of choice.
