Beos...was...Re: [wplug] Circuit City

[Max Putas]

The last time I looked at SkyOS, it was very impressive for being an almost
completely one-man show. They probably have more developers these days, but
you have to remember that it is a commercial OS.

Haiku (formerly OpenBeOS) (http://haiku-os.org/) is where all of my hopes
lie these days. It's starting to become very usable for testing purposes,
and it's very difficult to see the differences between it and RC5, which is
the goal of the project. This is a really great video if you don't know much
about the project:
