Well, the difference is that OpenBeOS _is_ BeOS, in a very literal 
sense
OK, so a few things will be changed for legal reasons, and a few 
(hopefully all :)
bugs will get fixed...  but its basically what the name suggests.

Apart from bugfixes, and the satisfaction of using 'free' software, it 
probably
won't offer much over BeOSr5 for the enduser... but it will make 
extending the
OS a much easier task, and provide a great deal of insight for both OS 
and 
application developers.... 

You might want to take a look at the FAQs on 
http://openbeos.org

Hopefully these should provide most of your answers...
