Basically my experience as well. I check it out every couple of years for nostalgia sake. It really is fairly feature complete for a BeOS clone. The problem is (besides the lack of a modern web browser for it) is that what was amazing about BeOS 20+ years ago is pretty much what is expected by any OS these days.
- michaelchisari 9y agowhat was amazing about BeOS 20+ years ago is pretty much what is expected by any OS these days. Which is why the story of BeOS is a story of lost potential.
- nkoren 9y agoExcept the part where you could run the whole OS, and a browser, off a 1.44mb floppy.
- krylon 9y agoIf that matters to you, Menuet OS[1] will still run off a floppy. The bigger problem, these days, is finding a floppy drive that still works, and a floppy disk. I had to install MS DOS 6.22 on two computers about two years ago, and finding three floppy disks for the installation media was rather challenging. ;-) [1] http://menuetos.net/download.htm http://menuetos.net/download.htm
