BeOS Lives on in the Form of Zeta

DgtlDivide writes "BeOS, one of the pinnacle examples of something really good that died far before it should have, is apparently not quite dead yet. BeOS has continued to captivate a large and devoted community. The Haiku project is working on an Open Source version of the OS and now out of Germany comes Yellowtab's Zeta, a continuation of an unreleased development version of BeOS code-named "Dano." Is Zeta worth the price? Will Yellowtab raise BeOS from the ashes and inflame public interest in the OS?"

    RTFA, dumbass.

    As for myself, I've pretty much only used Windows, I mean I've used OSX once or twice and Unbuntu a good few times but IMO, BeOS seems to work in such a more simple and elegant way. If it wasn't for the lack of decent\up-to-date\plentiful applications for it, I'd go out and buy it.
