Indeed. BeOS would have made Macintosh as successful as the Amiga.
- lproven 7y agoA good, pithy summary. BeOS was a beautiful OS, my favourite ever x86 OS. But the _other_ key thing most people miss is that NeXT also had amazing, industry-beating development tools. Be didn't. Both BeOS and NeXTstep were amazing OSes, but NeXT offered 2 other things as well as a great OS: • best-of-breed dev tools, including Interface Builder • Steve Jobs. No contest, I'm afraid. Even if personally I preferred BeOS.
