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.

Eugenia; As you pointed out, there are forum threads and other resources available, for researching the multi-threading issues with BeOS. But, being somewhat lazy, and not sure if I would understand the discussion, anyway, what's your take on the crux of the problem? Is it programmers not implementing multi-threading properly, or the OS not handling the multi-threaded app? I've gathered that there are aspects of the OS that could be improved, but is it anything that a few billion dollars in R&D couldn't solve?
