I've always been a huge fan of BeOS. However, there was no denying the fact that the BeOS was getting old. As many other BeOS fans, I closely followed two projects: Haiku, and yellowTAB's Zeta. The latter released 1.0 a few weeks ago. Here are the findings of an old BeOS user.

Yellowtab should make things clear

Do they have the kernel source code and how they got it. Customers have the right to know. Yellowtab is a shady outfit for not coming clean.

As a quote here stated out, there are significant kernel - related changes in the Zeta R1 (Ram limitation, bigger Tracker-Addon space, new VM model f.ex.)
Working on these portions without having the Kernel Sourcecode is simply impossible.
Working on that without Palm's Notice about that is impossible (if it occurs without their permission or whatsoever).

Meanwhile we still make some bla-bla about the sourcecode ownership of the Kernel of Dano etc., yT inofficially speaks out, that the next Update Version (R1.5) possibly will content a brand-new Kernel. But for sure in Version 2.0 including a 64-Bit Version of Zeta.

So go on living with rumours. Some even believe that OS X is a MediaOS with it's nearly 40year old legacy OS underlying in it. So it's ok.
