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

Now, I don't want to be cynical. It would be great to have OpenBeOS all fired up and ready to play around with. I haven't had any experience with BeOS or really knew anything much about this OS until about now-ish. A "new" OS getting ready? Wow, that's really interesting... So I was really exited when I read this article with the grand title "The Comeback of a Classic OS" only to fell that familiar sinking feeling of "yeah, right..." when I looked at OpenBeOS status chart.

Out of 13 major segments 3 are in Beta, 3 are in Alpha, 5 are in Pre-Alpha and 2 are in Planning. Yupp, it looks like OpenBeOS is "just around the corner any day now" [insert cynical sneer here]. Wake me when you have got any real OS news to report. Damn, I knew it was too good to be true.
