Power and elegance? Where? BeOS gave me no indication it had anything to offer. My point was show it to me! I haven't time to waste on an operating system that forces me to beat "power and elegance" out of it.
I tried it - once. After much effort to get it to work on my hardware I was rewarded with an interesting but wholly unintuitive GUI. Apps? mini-apps? ANYTHING I could start up that was going to let me know I was in for an experience of a lifetime? Nope. Just a broken Internet browser. I had to switch operating systems to hunt around for anything I might download that would show off this wonderous system. Everything remotely interesting had a price tag on it. I'm sorry, but even Windows comes with a couple of gizmos to click on. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick with GNU/Linux.

Well, let's see. When was the last time you had your monitor in interlaced mode, if ever?
Perceptually, there is a huge difference.
NTSC does 60 fields per second when it's the evening news or a soap you're watching. Doesn't make much of a difference, does it?
60 interlaced fields equates to 30 full frames.
30fps vs 48fps, I'd say that could be a substantial difference.
