Nov 18, 2008 - Well, I hope you're going to be giving more coverage to Haiku than to those ZETA gerbils.

Nov 18, 2008 - The saddest part about this video is I dont have friends who are tech aware enough to laugh as much as I did to this clip. Sarcasm for April Fools is daring but you pulled it off well. And the cheesy fireplace, BeOS tag and X tape as well as the geeky haircut were great touches. Bravo.

Nov 18, 2008 - Good move! I'm sick of Linux, years ago it meant something, it commanded respect and even fear. Now.. now even my grandmother uses Linux! Time to move on, maybe I'll switch to Plan 9, that'll show em!

Nov 18, 2008 - BeOS was an operating system by Be, Inc. It was built from the ground up to handle multimedia. Although it was discontinued after Be whent under in 2001, I still rely on it, since it can run on a cheap PC, but get the performance you've never seen before on an old computer.

Vlad5010 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Sadly, I have to say yes, since it even says so in the description.

Nov 18, 2008 - You know, BeOS seemed pretty promising back in 1991. It was fairly fast, remarkably stable ... and they had those really cool BeBoxes!What happened???
