“It may have a few flaws, but I have yet to see any OS get the performance out of that cheap $60 video card that Be gets. It has, by far, the smoothest, most responsive UI I’ve seen yet. Designed to be a media editing machine, once it gets some real hardware support, it’ll hit its intended mark well.” —Arthur Corlisse78
