The frontpage article about the comeback of gobe Software suggest you should order gobeProductive for Windows (see the order page: "We no longer carry BeOS products."). Why the hell would I want to do that now I'm almost about to move to Zeta?

Look as long as gobe keeps on writing "We no longer carry BeOS products." on their website I'd say to Win32-(s)hell with them, with all do respect to their history of making a fantastic product for a fantastic OS. Any return of gobe without involvement with the last 2 letters of their company name is not frontpage-article-worthy. I'm not paying them $50 hoping they will go Be again but I am the first in line when gobeProductive 3 (or 4) for BeOS will be out.

By the way, since when did TBJ start promoting Windows products? You have certainly reached an absolute depth by doing so.

Sorry for being so harsh on this but I just can't take it to see TBJ lowering itself to such a pathetic depth... where did the sense of "holiness" go???

Yep Eddy ... I agree.

Who cares about a Windows Office suite when we're running BeOS ?

Even still, where is a demo version to try before you buy ?

Yep, I concur, and was suprised to read the recommendation. I wondered what other readers would think, so I started a poll in the "Article Discussion" section.

I think that every BeOS user should buy the Windows game Nocturne so that the maker will release a BeOS version... What the hell kind of logic is that!?!

Gobe did a lot for BeOS. Can't blame them, they did try to make it. Hope they can find a way to support Zeta if and when it ever gets released.
