PalmSource ain't gonna make a birthday party for BeOS but it would only be fair if the rest of us, [ex-]users, remember the "media OS" as the innovative operating system of the late '90s, still used by some. Depending on how you count, it was early 1994 when the first BeOS version left the Be, Inc. offices and headed toward Be's "partners" and "developers". It was 1994 when the word started to spread around among geeks about this "new and exciting" OS and soon, external devs got access to it.

Current development? If I were going to try BeOS, or E-Commerce Station, or QNX or any of the non-Linux/BSD/Unix examples of X86 OSs, I would want to go with something that gets the current development.
Another quality I would look for is ease-of-use, which would encompass ease-of-installation and necessarily support for a wide-range of hardware.
