First Look at YellowTAB's Zeta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'm-not-quite-dead-yet dept.

Gentu writes "Great news for the BeOS fans. After Be sold its IP to Palm, many said that the BeOS was no more, but a new startup company from Germany, YellowTAB, was able to get hold of Be's source code and form the future of the never-released BeOS 6 ('Dano'), under the name 'Zeta'. YellowTAB added a lot of new goodies to the OS and brought it up to speed. OSNews features the first ever preview of Zeta with a lot of good information, along with some screenshots."

    The only type of computer nerd that is more pathetic than Amiga zealots.

  2. Does it support Ogg Vorbis? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's great to see someone carrying on the BeOS legacy. If it doesn't support Ogg vorbis though, I'm not buying it. Where is the source code!? I don't run proprietary closed source operating systems!

      Neither does your mom. In fact, if you ask your dad, she'll tell you that your mom's loose skanky twat is fully open sores compliant!

    Simple question. And yeah its obvious I haven't RTFA yet but I'm getting to it. I was just wondering what hardware this new BeOS supports. I can run this on "normal" amd/intel hardware?

    The woman states that she doesn't understand what the "Language" feature does, or what the "Strings" options do, then proceeds to bash these things she doesn't understand as stupid useless features... is she thick?

    Just because you're english, doesn't mean multilingual capability is a useless feature, egocentric lady...

    You managed to make yourself look stupid and have me utterly dismiss your review on the very first page! Good job!

  8. Haha, love Eugenias trolling by stratjakt · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The fact that the user has the ability to select applications one by one ... is completely unnecessary and it brings a dreadful Linux-like feeling to the installation

    adding useless features like "Stings", application selection and "GCC version choice"

    What a dimwit. This is the worst review of anything I've ever read.
