Zeta "The biggest thing they have done is to add more drivers and update the look in order to bring BeOS to users who could not have installed it before and attract new users to discover what made it great. This is a good thing, but I just can't get behind this OS as of yet. There are too many problems and rough patches. If you want the best way to use BeOS, this is it. If you are looking for the best desktop OS, I cannot recommend Zeta."

Excellent OS

This is really an excellent OS from stability point of view.
I have a corrupted DVD with 7 files on; When I tried to copy them to my windows machine it took the explorer with it and I got the black screen of death; on linux on the other hand (Xandros 3.0.2 Business Edition + SUSE 10 Beta3) the KDE environment got frozen I could not use my mouse and my keyboard at all.
2nd test I did was when I tried to read the content of a DVD with a file of size 4.5 written By UDF(Universal Disk Format) file system, just windows and Zeta 1.0 were able to mount them and show their contents correctly.

Who wants an OS to work on his workstation then it get forzen on your face while you are running vital programs on the background that will get it corrupted or trashed because you want to reset your system?!
