Is hazmat your friend, Darkshadow?Originally posted by hazmat
So I'm running WinXP now at work. I was running Win2k before. The last MS OS I actually liked was NT4. I miss it. Sleek, fast, no-bullshit. I never liked Win2k. All the extra crap I never needed or wanted. Seemed disorganized to me. But at least it supports USB and Firewire. So anyway, something on the system got hosed. I was so sick of windows so I installed Linux and remembered why I hate it for a desktop. X Windows sucks ass. No way I was going to deal with that crap. I offered to buy a cheap Mac so I could run OS X, but no, it has to be a PC. Basically there is no current x86 OS I like. But there is one coming that I am really excited about, and will definitely be what I run unless the unlikely situation of Apple releasing OS X for x86 happens. BeOS. Believe it or not it's being developed. yellowTAB is continuing development of it. Apparently they got the rights to the BeOS PE (Personal Edition) before Palm got I guess the more pro version. So that's what it's based on, BeOS R5. It's called Zeta and it looks like it will be awesome. I am hoping for an initial release in the next few months. www.yellowtab.com . So for now it's XP. I'm not thrilled with it, but after some initial problems and typical MS stupidities, it actually is not horrible. Definitely better than Win2k, IMO. Then again they gave me a new machine. This Dell P4 2-gig with a gig of RAM. Freakin' fast this machine.
Oh well. Since I can't have a Mac, at least Zeta should be really good for work purposes.
