You may or may not know that I've been a big fan of BeOS since around
1999 (when R3 came out) and I've followed it's progress (and
eventually demise and rebirth as Zeta, OSBOS, BlueEyed OS, Haiku,
etc.) - I still have a little P][ box set up running dual-boot BeOS
R4.5 and Dano :o) and
BeOS still flavours my coding work very heavily (as will be seen even
more with some forthcoming new products).
Anyway, this post is simply to encourage people to download and try
out the Haiku R1 Alpha 1 build now available. You can get a lovely
VMware-ready image from the site so you're good to go immediately.
