Ars Technica on Zeta 1.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the obscurity-through-obscurity dept.

Quantrell writes "Ars Technica has posted an extremely in-depth review of Zeta 1.0 (/. saw another shorter review a month ago, but this new one is worth a look by anyone into things Be). Looking at the state of the OS more closely, it looks like it has a long way to go, maybe too long. Also, the author (rightly, IMO) raises the issue of whether or not Zeta will see success in the face of open source projects like Haiku. Is there anything but a hobby going on here?"

      Because open source software is made by millions of directionless tinkerers with no one to tell them when they have a bad idea. As a result, no two things work the same way, and some don't work at all. Commercial software is not like this. It just works. 'nuff said!
