One of the major obstacles to using BeOS as a workstation OS is being fixed.
A significant limit of BeOS r5.0.3 was that the total system and video RAM could not exceed 1GB. This was a big problem for users who wanted to create large media projects and other tasks which required a lot of memory.
A talented hacker who goes by the name of Euan Kirkhope has produced a workaround.

More work needs to be done on the fix - at the moment BeOS reports only 64MB RAM - but all installed RAM is used by the OS and tested applications seem to be behaving.
This is a significant milestone passed, and increases BeOS's useability in the high-end audio/video workstation area.
