"As World+Dog gets its head around Windows Vista, lets look back at an operating system that might have been a contender, very nearly becoming Apple's next-generation OS and, but for Linux, almost certainly the key alternative to Windows on x86. Ladies and gentlemen, who remembers BeOS?"

BeOS was one of my first love , when i was a kid with linux just around the corner on the Desktop front the BEos provided a real alternative to windows on desktop but somehow it faded and was later brought by palm forpaltry 11Million $ so it was a big let down considering the good features the OS had i still have BeOS R 5 somewhere in Cd's i would still make a switch if recent version comes out.
With haiku and other such beos project who knows in future we may have BeOS as a viable alternative on desktop.
