Star Bernd Korz Ceases Zeta Development, Mulls Giving Sources to Haiku
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 2nd Apr 2007 16:50 UTC, submitted by gaukler
Zeta Bernd Korz has announced that he will cease all development on Zeta [German], which effectively means Zeta will no longer be in development. Korz already wanted to quit development on Zeta when YellowTAB went belly up, but the numerous requests from customers to continue development eventually dragged him across the line. However, after the spat with Magnussoft, enough is enough for Korz. He states that he is not sure if and when the service pack to Zeta 1.5 will be released. He also states that he is not sure if and when he will open source or give to Haiku his contributions to Zeta. He explicitely states nor yT, nor Magnussoft own the source code to his work. My take: While I can understand Bernd, I am also sad to see this happen. For the little money and manpower Bernd had at his disposal, he did a magnificent job in making Zeta a usable operating system. I already knew this was about to happen, but a sad day it remains for Zeta users.

Nah, that would have been using Vista^H^H^H^H^HAmigaOS 1.0 in a corporate environment - in 2007. (I'll laugh if anyone claims there are people who do this.)
