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

"I have tried BeOS PE r5, even got my hands on BeOS Dano, but it's performance are pritty lame, true boots quickly but plaing divx is better on my WindowsXP and browsing the internet is much much better! Even with Bone the internet on BeOS SUCKS!

You're true, but don't forget that your beOS is not optimised for the new cpu. Nothing was really done for 2 years on BeOS. Comparing BeOS to linux, windowsXP or mac os X isn't really fair today.
The network has always been a strong bad point for BeOS.
But the thing is OpenBFS works, and seems faster than the original file system. And the project is less than one year ! Give the projects some time, and maybe clones of BeOS will be good alternative to some actual OS.
