From humor site, Bedoper: “In light of recent legal challenges regarding ‘Lindows’, Double-Clicking and Source Code, yellowTab GMBH, Inc., Ltd. has elected to nip this business in the bud by renaming our forthcoming operating system ‘Beta’.“

ookaaay…
He cracks me up with his dry sense of humor. I like the link for ‘SCOR17’, and the t-shirts to Amiga users.
since most stuff released by YT are beta stuff.

i consider every piece of software beta and experimental.
but if these girls come with the package i order one.
I miss the real BeDope. <sniff>
I can’t believe someone even bothered to post a story on this.
Even the first line had me in stitches:
“released the following communiqué via their previously secret community relations blog:”
Ah… there is nothing better than seeing ‘competition’ being humored about in such ways 🙂
Of course I stay say quiet that I pretty much avoid such things altogether.
I still can’t believe they haven’t applied any of the font repairs and rendering improvements I demonstrated to them very early on.
Oh well, I’ll just keep up my snail-paced advance, while heading in a very specific direction, and let them develop until they go bust, then hog up everything that is left 🙂
I would really like to know why anyone would have invested into yellowTAB knowing they did not have the source legally. Oh, probably a lie somewhere.. oh well, who cares. Source actually is not that important… until you want to make changes in kernel space or pre-boot. Hit that wall a few times.
