> Are there many here that were BeOS lovers? Yes, BeOS was fantastic: it booted in 14seconds on my computer and was immediately very responsive where Linux and Windows booted in >1m20s plus they weren't very responsive (Windows was slow as a snail after the boot until it really finished booting).. Unfortunately even though BeOS was much, much more pleasant to use than Linux or Windows (thanks to its responsiveness), the lack of applications for BeOS meant that I rarely used it in fact.. And now SSDs mean that even normal OSs feel quite responsive, so I'm not waiting Haiku anymore.. IMHO its developers made a fatal mistake when they didn't use Linux for their kernel, it meant that it would take much more time to have an usable OS and they missed their 'window of opportunity'.. Yes, I know about Blue.Eyed.OS but it was a failed project from the start due to their strange indecision about licensing..
