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.

this goes out to the folks re-embracing proprietary OSs--specifically the folks who've been doing this for decades.
there doesn't seem to be any historical record for being able to rely on proprietary OSs. this means that whenever your proprietary OS goes titsup.com (either due to being out-foxed by another OS, or because your bottom-line OS provider thinks you need to something better) you get to spend part of your precious life at ground zero with yet another proprietary OS.
maybe you don't realize you might not be alive in the next moment.
wasting your life on one POS after another. cheers!
