I've been having a nose at the various 'BeOS' clones, redevelopements and spin off projects and wondering what we would have now on Mac's if Be had accepted the $200 million dollar offer for their OS? Of if Apple had bought Be?
OK, Steve Jobs might not be back at the helm of Apple but we'd still have a variation of BeOS!
However, things are looking up for fans of that quaint little OS as the various projects are steaming along and creating brilliant new ideas and bringing BeOS back to life.
If you fancy paying for a fully working (ish) modern version of the OS, head over to Zeta or if you fancy taking a look at a community driven open source copy, have a look at Haiku. Both are excellent and with a bit more work either will be ready for a general userbase.
This (rather young) BeOS fan can't wait!
