Allman writes "The return of the BeOS? Seems like Bernd Korz is delivering what he had promised (and more). After all these years it seems that yellowTab ("the new BeOS company") is finally ready to release and sell new BeOS-based products. Surprisingly, they're not only selling software, but in some way following the footsteps of Be Inc. by also selling hardware - will these things eventually become the new Be Box-es? Hehe.. who knows? From their website: yellowTab is proud to announce the "Complete Zeta Solution". Both in laptop and desktop forms, yellowTab will sell, to Europe only, complete and compatible systems. All systems come with a 2 year Warranty included.""

Yay BeOS! by Kujah · 2003-09-29 01:05 · Score: 0, Flamebait

I can remember with much warmth in my heart the last time I tried BeOS on my desktop. Ah, the heartwarming partition-in-a-file. Oh, the wonderfully slow bootstrap. I remember how no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any sound or network support. And yet, the hours I spent playing with the tabs on top of the windows (you could move and stack them, much like some newer linux wm's) seemed to make up for all it's downfalls.

Bottomline: I'd buy a BeOS system, only if I wouldn't have to be the one to get it to work properly.
