You’ve got to be kidding. The state of the art for the vast majority of desktop computer users was classic Mac OS and Windows 9x. Did you never see the BeOS demos where they yanked the plug out of the wall while doing heavy filesystem operations and booted straight back up without significant data loss? I don’t remember if NTFS existed back then, but most people wouldn’t use NT and successors until the turn of the century.
There were gaping holes in functionality, but BeOS was a revelation at the time.
- jeffbee 5y agoNTFS came out years before BeFS and had journaling from day 1. At the time that people were experimenting with BeOS there were already millions of users of Windows NT. Even Windows NT 3.1 for workstations sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Be's all time cumulative net revenues were less than $5 million.
