I tested the free version of BeOS some years ago. fastest OS I had ever seen. Lack of apps, but had lots of potencial. microsoft just destroyed the hole project(and company)

BeOS looked so promising...

[foxyd3]

If you are interested in BeOS, you can try out Haiku.

BeOS looks like old windows

[jackassdesorder]

Be sucks is boring

[totakeke]

The OS itself looks phenomenally innovative. I wonder what computer OSes today would look like if BeOS hadn't died out. Now I know that Microsoft kept the software world a decade behind in terms of technology and innovation.

However, this promotional video is really terrible... They may have made an awesome OS but they sure didn't know how to market it well... It's too bad...

@UncleSam13 Palm WebOS came from the Newton OS that was developed by Apple for their MessagePad which debuted in 1993 and was killed in 1997 after Steve Jobs came back to the company. They sold the whole thing to Palm who used it to develop their Palm OS until more recently coming out with WebOS which is a collaboration project between Palm and HP and uses a modern Linux kernel, probably from HP-UX, but still has a lot of the same features that were present in the original Newton.

What is the song the guy plays on the computer!?!?!? also: What is the app that he uses to mess with the tracks on the song?? I do still use Legacy BeOS (R4) so I should be able to use it if I can find it.
