BeOS & Derivatives Nowadays, all you hear about is Windows, MacOS X, or GNU/Linux. However, what ever happened to the good old BeOS?

Sorry to be cynical...

I hate to be cynical, but I don't know that any of these projects are going to get anywhere. As Eugina once stated, it took Be Inc. 10 years with 50 programmers to get up to what they left off with (R5), and there isn't much of a chance that 10 part-time programmers are going to finish it any time soon. It does look promising, I must admit (I believe that BFS is literally 99.9% done in the OpenBeOS project), however I doubt that it will release R1 (their clone of R5) within the next year or two.

That having been said, I do pray for it every night, I just don't think it'll happen. ;)
