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

RE: About the status of OpenBeOS

If you look at the status, you will immediately see three projects in beta. However, upon closer inspection, you realize that they are the file system, printing, and translation. The last two are unimportant, to say the least. I'd say that three of the most important (the file system is important, but not nearly as important as these)--app/interface, kernel, and networking--are not even in alpha. Sure, you can replace the BFS with the [Open]BFS, but that's about the extent of the operating system.
