BeOS was really amazing, too bad it didn't take off.
I remember installing it on a PowerMac 7300 - not a slow machine back then, but certainly not top of the line. BeOS shipped with a folder with a few (maybe 6 or 8) QuickTime videos. You could easily do ⌘A → ⌘O (select all, then open), and they would all play smoothly at the same time, and there was still CPU time left for doing actual work. That was amazing, given that the same machine struggled with playing just two QuickTime videos at once under Mac OS 8 or 9.
