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

I can understand people's mistrust of any new BeOS project as so many promises have been broken. But to totally dismiss an alternative operating system, because it doesn't have the backing of a corporation full of engineers and poor marketing staff is insane. Why do you even frequent OSNews, to hear about Windows Longhorn betas?
If you don't like BeOS or you have grown tired of broken promises, then don't use it and don't read about. But to rail on it because it is not as hip as Linux or doesn't have the support of corporation is stupid.
I welcome any progress from BeUnited, OpenBeOS, Yellowtab, all the developers and BeOS enthusiasts out there. So what if it is never the number #1 desktop solution. If someone enjoys creating and using the product or can make a profit from it, all the more power to them.
