BeOS security was a step ahead of the other desktop competition when Microsoft has shipping a Win9x kernel and Apple was shipping System 8, but that was a decade ago. The only major thing that BeOS R5 had over those OSs was protected memory. Otherwise, it was a single-user system with no permissions checking to speak of. Quite a far cry from either the NT, BSD, or Linux kernels...
