"When looking for an alternative to Windows most people think of either Apple's OS X or Linux. Of course, these are both viable alternatives but they are not the only options. One way to go is with yellowTAB's ZETA operating system. Though it is not yet very popular, ZETA is the successor to BeOS, the highly regarded OS from Be, Inc. This is a very interesting and beautiful operating system which may not presently be a threat to Linux but it does have more than a few things going for it."

Yes, BeOS is significantly different: its aim was to give a TUE (Total User Experience) in much the same thought process of Apple and their products. Linux? No, consistency is very much not their reason for existing, and thus you have an incredible number of choices that are mutually incompatible with each other, all on the same OS base that isn't integrated.
Well, the BeOS kernel isn't integrated with the GUI, either, but there's a great advantage to having a single target to develop for, and to support.
