@the_leander: No, I would never want to run this or BeOS with 64Mb of RAM or less, but it is nice to see an OS that will at least install on systems with low amounts of RAM. Not that everyone and their grandma doesn't have at least 1Gb now a days, but still. A good sign that things are progressing and becoming more and more like the BeOS original.
@Daedalus - I don't get much use out of it yet either except listening to MP3's and browsing the web without the risk of virus's or adware. Sadly a lot of my old favorites such as the Exult Ultima VII clone do not seem to want to run, but then again it's still Alpha, so I'm waiting patiently for the compatibility to be worked out.
@dreamcast270mhz - Aghh so you've overclocked your Dreamcast egh? I've got all the parts to do that my self, but have not gotten around to do the soldering job. Anyhow yes, Zeta is dead and was very Illegal. While very nice for what it was, it still broke a LOT of compatibility, but who knows, maybe future version of Haiku will resolve this and allow both BeOS and Zeta software to work in the future which would be good for me considering that they updated that Musick app that came with BeOS (the name eludes me right now) so that it no longer crashed when you tried to save your work.
@haywirepc - REALLY? You are stuck on the lack of eye candy?! You'd really hate my VERY BASIC Work Bench 3.0 setup then.
Glad to see that some of you got your eyes on this at least. I remember first reading about BeOS in an issue of CU Amiga or Amiga Format (I forget which), and I was blown away by what I was seeing and reading about. At the time I seriously thought of it as the future of Amiga.
Now if some day someone will come along and write a UAE compatibility layer for it sort of like what is being developed for AROS.
