yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the obscurantism dept.

Provataki writes "OSNews' Thom Holwerda posted the first in-depth review of the recently released Zeta 1.0. He goes over installation, impressions, usage, application and hardware support, BFS queries and concludes that yellowTAB's Zeta is the deserving future of BeOS; plus, it's the only one based on the original source code by Be, Inc."

    And for media pros without the skill, time or inclination to do that, here's BeOS! Ready-made for what they need. Understand?

    And maybe BeOS was offering this stuff before the others were; did you think of that? Maybe there's an established user base of people who want to keep using the OS they're used to, rather than switch to one you'd like to see them using. Maybe they don't like your choice of OS, and maybe they wouldn't like the one you'd put together for them.

    Maybe Be and YellowTAB "get it" in the exact way that you don't.
