Imo they had already lost at this point. Sad, I used BeOS full time for a few glorious months right after the Intel pivot. Reminded me of my Amiga days.

- Aldipower 1y agoMay I ask what your tasks were you did with BeOS. Just curios.
- codr7 1y agoCoding mostly, which is what I mainly use computers for; it offers pretty nice C++ APIs for building apps. But I also used GoBe Productive, which is by far the nicest office suite I've tried. And playing music, back then it was the only OS that could play an MP3 without skipping while you used the computer for something else.
- ewgoforth 1y agoI played around with BeOS a little about 25 years ago. It did perhaps the best job of remaining responsive under high load of any OS I've used.
- drooopy 1y agoI played quite a bit with that free intel version they came out with back in 98? 99? Shame that my internal modem wasn't working and I couldn't get on the internet with it.
- jbverschoor 1y agoMe too.. and I used it at work while at Lucent too.
