Nowadays, all you hear about is Windows, MacOS X, or GNU/Linux. However, what ever happened to the good old BeOS?

No a Be user myself, I can still understand the draw to Be, at least from a developer's perspective. I used to be a Windows programmer and now I am a Unix programmer, and - though Unix is a nice change from Windows - it is loaded with cruft that ensures backwards compatability going back 30+ years.
Be was a new, clean development environment. From what I have seen - which isn't too much, but enough to form an initial opinion - the Be APIs were nice and logical.
Too bad that Be is dead.
