If yes I'll buy it.

Having a machine to run Mac OS X, eComstation, and Haiku would be great. (No Windows here).

I remember in 1995 os/2 was my desktop of choice... Towards the end of the BBS age..

I used OS/2 until Version 4, then my new hardware wouldn't boot it anymore...
I'd gladly use eComstation on a second PC, just for kicks.

I tried it on my 3 year old IBM PC... it worked well. Maybe the figure that if you pay to be in the Beta program, you will actually use it/test it and report back to them, since you've invested somethiing into it.

The people who are receiving the beta, such as me, are those who have purchased upgrade protection. It's basically all updates, drivers, betas, and finals for you. It's very reminicent of the annual contracts from IBM. They happen to be including 2.0 final if you have the upgrade protection at all in this case.

I myself use eCom as my main OS, so it's been worth it for me. They are really making strides and there is a ton out there for the OS that many people don't know about.
