OSNews

so lets be sure to rehash this in another two weeks.

Why not do some more interviews with perhaps, oh say .. the 'tao group' or IBM's head of 'Developer works'?

I like the 'BeOS' as much as the next guy but lets be quite real about something and that is 'to each his own'

Open-beos is taking the step, as small as they may be, but they are doing it, Yellowtab and their 'zeta' is a great addition also.

So i want to key in on what someone wrote earlier. can we have some news other than an optimists view?

and as for linux, it works , after some configuring and tweaking, same with windows and most of the other os's outthere, beos did what _I_ liked hence I use it!

some people may not like it, they use other os's, fine if it works for them.


and as for the people noting that it took 50 engineers to do what became known as beos, note that they were working from null, openbeos will come along when its done.
I still consider that they should work on the kernel a bit more since its the most gargantuan effort they have to face.
almost everything is documented for the reimplementation, but you also have to note that they dont just want it to be a beos clone they want to take it a step further.
(albeit pull the symbols of the kernel and notice some phunky hooks)

but still i cant see the problem some people here have with people doing their own thing, its mostly like the linux and windows crowd has become more... agressive in their 'assimilation' I dont like this sort of thing, its not to the spirit of OpenSource.
Let people do their own thing, period!


like 'linus' did back in the days.
