BeOS & Derivatives Vassilis 'vasper' Perantzakis, of BeOS Max Edition fame, has announced that he will start work on WalterOS, the Haiku-based version of BeOS Max.

Donations will not be accepted, please donate to Haiku." The name is not final yet, so feel free to add your own proposals.

No, I'm pretty confident I'd have to object to "VeOS".

We are obliged to defend trademarks, and I'm afraid "BeOS" is currently one of 'em.

I like the name VeOS, but you are right. It is also why I rejected MaxOS (MacOS...)
