Back in 2001, a new operating system arrived that promised to change the way users worked with their computers. That platform was BeOS and I remember it well.

I used to keep tabs on this O/S, but gave up in the end as it didn't work on many computers, owing to a lack of drivers, etc.
It could be a useful O/S for web browsing, & listening to music - but there isn't any video app. If you like trying things out, take a look, but as stated, it's not going to be your daily driver. :) |
Haiku is as useful as ReactOS and GNU Hurd , not very. Also reminder that BeOS was never a multi-user system - so neither is Haiku - which could be a security issue for some. Give Haiku another half a decade or so - and it might reach non-beta, :p.
