RE: BEOS Launches Today - Here's how to get yours!

You guys keep pushing for mainstream adoption but you keep creating stuff for geeks only. Not only was this hard to understand, I find the 500 bts fee too expensive for someone who earns less than $35 a week. And yet we're to make this decision in less than 5 days.

All of the past posts about BEOS should be considered as statements of vision, not promises of anything. Many of these visions have not yet been realized in the first release and some may never be.

For $35, this post even went on state that all of this is just vision and might stay that way for a long time.

I hope this doesn't come off wrongly. I am sincerely trying to get a bit more clarification. Why is it so expensive? What are we trying to achieve with BEOS?

Thanks as you reply.
