A very nice review of the Zeta.  It also has some good historical background  on BeOS, including things that I didn't know.  

For example, I did know that BeOS was once considered by Apple to be the replacement for it's decrepit Mac OS, but I didn't know it was rejected because the head of BeOS thought he had the upper hand and held out for too much money.  He was quoted as saying "I've got Apple by the balls, and I'm going to squeeze hard until it hurts."  

Dumbass... oh well, at least we have OS X now because of his ego.

Refalm:
I've used BeOS for over a week, but this looks even more promising, because they modernised the whole BeOS experience.

I've heard some school in Czech wants Zeta to be on their computers.

If it weren't $129, I'd give it a swing... but ya know... it is.

Aloone_Jonez:
Why, isn't it available on BitTorrent?

hm_murdock:
That wouldn't be right! :o

That, and the nag screen in an OS would get old... fast :D
