This isn't a problem in Linux or Windows XP because you can use limited user accounts to guard against the whole system being infected and a firewall helps too.

BeOS is quite useful to me, I use it as my main OS. I even made my banner you see under this.

How about serious software like OpenOffice?
I wouldn't even consider using an operating system that doesn't support a decent office suit.

Do you really have to make your posts sound imature with silly childish comments like this? Your post was quite good up to this point.

OpenOffice.org desn't support BeOS. NOT the other way around.
Whenever I was in BeOS I believe it had some sort of office suit, I think. It had Abiword anyhow.
Aloone_Jonez:
Sorry, but you know what I mean.
AbiWord's just a word processor and quite a good one too, but I need a spreadsheet, drawing package ect. and if BeOS doesn't have these then forget about it.
bedouin:
You're looking for Gobe Productive.
Some of its developers are at Apple now; most BeOS developers I used to chat with have either moved to OS X or BSD.
Why someone would bother with BeOS nowadays unless they had a specific task that required it is beyond me, especially since Linux has matured quite nicely. What's keeping you there, fast boot times? It's kind of irrelevant since I never shut my computer off now (put it to sleep), and OS X wakes up instantly. If it's the interface someone has probably themed Linux to resemble/act like it.
Aloone_Jonez:
bedouin the version you posted hasn't been updated since 2000 and they have some measure of sense as they've moved to Windows/Linux. I couldn't find anything on thier website about BeOS, they have a Linux version but I don't know if it's still maintained, as I can't see why any Linux user would use anything but OpenOffice.
