I was always shocked how sensible the BeOS community and
Be Inc. itself reacted about criticism the last 5 years. And
somehow it's pleasing to see today how right all that critics
has been, as some internals about BeOS come to light here.
On the other hand, it would be even more pleasent if I would
have been wrong. I just hope the OpenBeOS community can
learn from this, that it will not repeat Be Inc's failure to listen.

I don't think that both projects compete that much. Most of
the high level code should be shareable, and many of the
middle level should be, too. When time comes, both projects
should cooperate.

Even from the unknowledgeable people! Just because
someone is well known, his opinion doesn't count more than
others. We already had a period where EVERY word from
a Be Engineer was treated as pure truth, just because he
was a Be Engineer.
Even me is sometimes wrong. :-)
