BeOS was not as stable and complete an OS as NexTSTEP.
It would have taken longer for Apple to launch their version of the OS and Apple was in a hole in the late 90's.
As you noted there would be no Jobs which came with the OS.
- jbverschoor 5y agoWe would have had someone with hard nipples :-D (JLG) The BeOS C++ api was nice to work with, and every little thing was a thread. I think if it became more mainstream we might have had a higher core-count. I wrote a simple windows implemention of the BApplication and BWindow etc. classes, which allowed me to compile to two platforms :-) I was very interested in OSes at the time, and ran BeOS at my job at DeltaKabel / Lucent
