I never was into BeOS, and the only time I even installed was in early 2003, which prooved it's a pile ......
As someone who is using BeOS to reply to this and someone who has used it for quite some time now I can only wonder if you didn't try to use the freebe beos on windows distro...
But regardless BeOS would be familiar to anyone who used AmigaOS3.X and Dopus Magellen 2. with bits of both Mac and Windows thrown in for good measure.
It is an increadible OS to use, slick, reliable and versatile, not to mention scalable.
BTW, Zeta Neo service pack 1 was released a couple of days ago for anyone who is interested. (Zeta is a licenced OS/distribution based on the leaked BeOS R5.1 Dano code).
