The only other reason to favour one OS over another, is if 'must have'

a base platform.

Well, I'm playing with Haiku (son of BeOS) on a real machine because I
couldn't get it to work virtually. I suppose no-one here is an expert?

The demise of Beos still makes me sad, but I don't think I would
recommend it to Dave!

I remember in a previous life trying out Beos, but can't recall what it
was like. I vaguely remember it being sort of like Windows.
I seem to remember being impressed with it though.
You'll have to remind me what it was like please.
