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.
As I can read few reactions here re Apple PPC hw, there seem to be the alternative PPC hw available soon, coming from the Amiga land.
It is called Pegasos, and you can find more info abou it here: http://www.bplan-gmbh.de/news/pegasos_e.html
It is supposed to be running MorphOS (Amiga OS compatible PPC clone), and Linux ... not sure about other OSes though ...
Cheers,
