BeOS rises from the dead in Zeta incarnation

THE LATE LAMENTED BeOS, loved and cherished by many, is not as dead as a dodo, it appears.

A firm called Yellowtab will exhibit an updated version of code it licensed from BeOS and is set to show it at mammoth computer fair, CeBIT, which starts in Hannover Germany on the 12th of March.

The updated version of its software is called Zeta and the firm will show working examples at CeBIT. There's no clear indication when Zeta will be finally released, but it's got to be not long after that, we reckon.

Yellowtab claims to have OpenGL and drivers for the hardware since Be died the death of the righteous.

We'll head by the stand when we're out at CeBIT but in the meantime you can dig around and see what it's up to on its web page, here. µ
