    BeOS was the most …
    BeOS was the most massively multi-threaded ever made. Everything ran on threads, even within the Kernel. The system libraries were designed so that no resources ever blocked and ui/worker stuff HAD to be on separate threads, which meant smooth operation no matter how many things are happening at once. Even stuff like hard drive failure or a scratched CD wouldn’t block, even the applications accessing the devices. ( Thanks Chrisbord )

    all the greatest computer companies (which actually are only 2: Microsoft and Apple) are destroyng the life of the common pc user with tons of informatical battles…

    look at the peacefully almost commovent, gentle video showing the peaceful harmless easyness “really” user friendly of BeOs!!!

    - like Doves amidst the War!!!

    “Both BeOS and OS X …
    “Both BeOS and OS X were designed to address shortcomings in Mac OS. BeOS was designed and built by a team of mostly ex-Apple engineers, and Be’s CEO had been head of product development at Apple for many years. Both offered Mac-like grace coupled with a Unix shell. Both were committed to providing a great user experience. Both put the goals of media content creation and consumption high on the list of priorities.” birdhouseDOTorg/macos/beos_osx/

    What year was this …
    What year was this made? 266MHz PII, 64MB RAM, 3GB HD I’m guessing late 1990’s.

    It’s amazing, very advanced. The movie playing in the window didn’t jitter at all with all the other stuff playing and considering the system it’s on it’s hard to believe.

  11. Bobberdolf Says:

    You can still …
    You can still download BEos-5 for free at Bebits, see link on the right in the description. Hardware is supported only till P4 and Riva TNT videocard as I tried, no Geforce I think. Still funny to try it out!

    Makes me wonder why I never installed the free personal version… oh yeah, I went to Linux.

    VERY good processing power, IMO, since WinXP64 on a 3.6 GHz Celeron can’t do as well with the multiple tasks as they show in the demo.

    It WOULD have been …
    It WOULD have been a great operating system had people known how to actually market. It was really, really well thought out. They should have gotten a footprint in the music industry first. I’ve never witnessed a better working OS… EVER. Again, comes down to whether you can market or not. NOT<

  14. Walabio Says:

    The reason BeOS …
    The reason BeOS failed is that MicroSoft would not licensing forbade installation of other OSes with its OS. Be would have loved to sell BeOS to OEM (Original Equipment manufactures) for 100 U$D per computer and many OEMs wanted to preinstall it, but MicroSoft would not let them.

    ¡The Justice-Department should have roasted MicroSoft for this anticompetitive behavior!

    Why BeOS died?


    Why BeOS died?

    Well, I guess is because it was designed to make good use of hardware and eliminate legacy, in a time that the market demanded hardware to be sold, and legacy software to be kept.

    It was incredible–a full-featured graphics program was only 60KB–less than 1/1000 the size of a similar Windows program.

    The IPO should have given it the funds to develop the drivers and team up with a computer manufacturer to hit the big time.

    Many supporters borrowed and risked their life savings to buy the stock, only to see it crash through the floor.

    How did that happen? Naked short selling–it was attacked and destroyed. The SEC could find out by who, but they won’t.

    That worksapce feature is fantastic–wish I had soemthing like that on my windows crap.

    I just got a copy of BeOS Release 3 from eBay… Can’t wait to try it!

  19. Bobberdolf Says:

    Get your free copy …
    Get your free copy of BeOS 5 at Bebits, see the info “About This Video” (more)in the upper right corner of this page and also the 2 review links.
    Hardware is probably supported only till P4 and Riva TNT videocard as I tried myself, no Geforce I think. Still funny to try it out!

    This is very old OS news and it has been re-hashed so-to-speak in what is known as BeOS 5 MAX edition and the a German company put out a version called Zeta Yellow Tab(based on the free edition of BeOS 5)how this OS handles memory is amazing

    I love BeOS. I originally ran Personal Edition, then I moved over to Professional Edition. Although it is old and discontinued, it steal beats Mac and Windows. Thank you for adding this video. Also, does anyone know the song used in this video? Lol, It sounded good.

    I love multitasking in BeOS!

    I’ve ran much newer version. BeOS R5.1d0 (Dano) on my old duron 600Mhz/256MB. With some tweaking and replacing parts (kits) from Haiku. I have stable system which looks fantastic and was ROCKET FAST. I’m very impressed by plugin-like design, database-like filesystem (queries!) and beautifull simplicity of BeOS. Waintg for Haiku! Whitch, btw, I believe, will rule the world! ;)

  24. Vlad5010 Says:

    Dano? I’ve been wanting to give that one a try, but I don’t know where I can get my hands on it… Haiku is making great progress and I’m eagerly awaiting it’s first ISO release. Until then, it’s just my BeBox with BeOS and my notebook with Zeta.

    7:20 is one example that featurewise the BeOS was ahead of its time. Imagine we just got Spaces this year in MacOS Leopard when the BeOS had that years ago.
