Sure, BeOS was a nice OS and has sparked offshoot groups to try and 'clone' it... Even if someone finally does one day clone BeOS completly I believe it will be too little, too late, and besides.. What practicle benefits are there to run a new BeOS, and why would people switch from Win32?, even Be Inc. tried giving BeOS away to get a good sized userbase and failed, I just don't see the logic in this at all... It's like trying to clone OS/2 which possibly has alot more apps then BeOS does, it's just not practicle... Maybe people should stop trying to reinvent wheels and just come up with a new style of wheel completly ;)
