What's going on with that Zeta OS?
« on: April 06, 2007, 08:54:36 PM »
Being a bit curious about alternative OSes, I was wondering if anyone knew a bit more about what's going on with the makers of the Zeta OS?

A few weeks ago, their site announced something that seemed to suggest they were in difficulty.

Now there's a new post suggesting something about legalities.

Is this another Amiga-like get the pop-corn out saga?

Geesh! Well, that's too bad.

Nevermind. I think I found everything I wanted to know on Bebug.

Lemme see...

Arrogant German coder with no social skills. Check!
Dubious legal position with regard to licencing. Check!
Out of date OS patched up like a polished turd. Check!

Sounds very Amiga-like to me. ;-)

I've been following this and I REALLY hope all turns out well! BeOS is my X86 Amiga! Has been for years! I hope nothing but for Haiku to succeed!

Are you saying that you use Zeta's Amiga emulator?

Thanks for the good laugh!

But then, I tried Zeta 1.2 and quite liked it on my rusty old laptop. I was hoping to get my hands on 1.21 and 1.5.

Oh well.
