I knew at the tine that Gassee was making a huge mistake. Be had some fantastic tech but it wasn't otherworldly.
A MacOS based on Be would have been amazing, at the time.
X ended up being a better way to go, the other changed made when Jobs came back turned me off of Apple's products but I can appreciate the overall improvements.

- LordKano 10y agoI still remember sitting there with my mouth hanging open watching 4 quicktime movies play at the same time after I installed the BeOS Preview Release on my 6400. What I particularly liked was how BeOS would run on any PCI PowerMac. The Rhapsody DR1 release had much smaller supported hardware and it was later than BeOS. Gassee overplayed his hand and lost big time. I LOVED Apple stuff. A BeOS based MacOS would have been phenomenal.
