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?"

    Based on my own experience with Zeta 1.0 on 3 machines. That's how. There are many incompatibilities and bugs (and yes, I first used BeOS since March 1999).

    But EVEN with these problems, Zeta is WAY better than the Haiku. Haiku is not even a solution, it is simply a hobby for a few hobby coders that only code in it every blue moon (except Axel who does most of the work there).
