I remember being completely blown away back in the 90s when I installed BeOS on a Pentium - on Windows 9X the machine struggled to play a single RealPlayer video, whereas under BeOS I could run 30 or 40 videos simultaneously with each window bouncing around automatically - and the sound had zero glitches(must have been some kind of demo?) Also you could put up to 6 live videos on the faces of a rotating cube, which was even more amazing at the time.
- keithnoizu 14y agoMy wow moment with BeOS came when ripping a cd under the os. The process took forever on any program I tried on windows. On beos the entire cd was burned in the time it would take to process a single track on windows. It was an impressive little OS. It's shame it did not manage to go mainstream.
- Serow225 14y agoYes! I totally forgot that. Burning CDs did rip on BeOS.
