 | | BeOS was an operating system for personal computers which began development by Be Incorporated in 1991. | | | BeOS was well loved by many people, and the BeOS user base was disappointed when Be, Inc. failed commercially and no further enhancement of the operating system would be possible. | | | BeOS PE could be started from within Microsoft Windows or Linux, and was intended to nurture consumer interest in its product and give developers something they could tinker in. |

| | Define BeOS - a Whatis.com definition |
| | BeOS is a personal computer operating system that its makers describe as designed for the multimedia applications of the future. | | | The first BeOS was used in a computer called the BeBox, since abandoned so the company could concentrate on the software. | | | More recently, BeOS has been ported to Intel's Pentium computers. |

| | Web development with BeOS |
| | BeOS is a closed source operating system for x86 and (pre-G3) PowerPC computers. | | | Better yet, if you are a software developer, consider making BeOS versions of your software available. | | | In many ways, BeOS is what MacOS X should have been (not just metaphorically, negotiations between Apple and Be Inc. were in progress in 1998, but were not successfully concluded). |

| | BeOS does not try to automatically mount floppy disks, instead you must mount it by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting "mount" and then selecting the floppy drive. | | | One of the strengths of BeOS is that it is designed and optimized to handle multiple media streams. | | | The Tracker is the file manager used by BeOS and is equivalent to the Windows 95 Explorer or the MacOS finder. |

| | Here is the only known screenshot of the "shark" version of BeOS, 0.99-EXP from 1994 running on a H0bb1t machine (which used 6-7 AT&T DSPs instead of regular CPUs). | | | Multi-user functionality was finally implemented but was never shipped because it was breaking a lot of apps that were created with single-user in mind (BeOS already had about 1500 applications at that point, today it has about 3,200) and that was a business risk Be didn't want to take. | | | JLG asked Dominic and some other engineers to add the functionality to be user-selectable of which shortcut to be used. |

| | Perhaps, if the fundamental advantages of BeOS (and ZETA) are indeed BFS and the direct graphics subsystem, these ideas will find their way into Linux or other mainstream operating systems. | | | The love obsession with BeOS isn't so much about what is has now, but the fact that it has an incredibly fast graphics subsystem back when Win98 or Redhat 5 were current operating systems. | | | Since many potential users wonder wether ZETA will run on their hardware, one purpose of the LiveCD is to allow users to try it on their hardware before buying the full version. |

| | Over 400 early adopters picked up the machines, most of them entranced by the dual-CPU architecture, the "blinkenlights" LED CPU performance meters on the sides of the machine, the "Geekport" which was an input port that could be hooked up to anything imaginable, and the new, clean-slate, lightweight and briskly performing multithreaded OS. | | | While the initial reaction to the first BeBoxes was positive, Be, Inc. was not able to sell enough of the computers to pay off its ever-increasing debt, so the company decided to switch to a software-only strategy and ported BeOS to the Macintosh platform. | | | Despite a good showing at the January 1997 MacWorld Expo, Apple began to restrict information about their new hardware designs, making it difficult if not impossible for BeOS to support the latest PowerMacs. |
