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

sick of hearing about BeOS

If only they GPLed BeOS 5, then we wouldn't be having this discussion. That is why I support Linux. It ain't gonna go away. BeOS may have been a great OS, but that IP belongs to someone who doesn't want to do anything with it. I say fine, I don't need their IP. We'll make our own.

Give me one good reason to support BeOS or any of its clones. Its just an unfortunate example at how capitalism hurts us all. Technology gone to waste because someone doesn't feel like they made enough money. Too bad. At least I got Linux/BSD.
