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.

Look I'm stuck right now under Linux and Windows, both ugly for different reasons (let the flames begin). BeOS felt SO RIGHT! When I started actually programming BeOS I discovered that there was so much potential in the BeOS API I nearly messed myself.
I miss it so much I could cry.
I must say that OS looks like where I want to be, but all I have are PCs (and one old iMac with a dead DVD), and not enough $$$ for a sweet G4 system to compare to what I have.
