BeOS

[Maginno]

Anyone using BeOS 4.5? With Windows or Linux? I am interested in this OS and need to know from users and not from Be. Thanks

H-Kon and his bunch are BeOS nuts, they will have your answers. Plus, they are true users of the OS.

BeOS os extremely fast, and not to bad to install. The application support is grw\owing continously, esp. anything multimedia related. There are few games of this OS, so don't drop Win9x just yet. The biggest prob with Be is hardware support. Make sure you have directly supported hardware. BeOS is also true multitasking, even down to the kernel core. The core will use all cpu's in an SMP system equally, unlike NT which uses only on cpu for it own internal operations, like disk i.o, memory management, kernal proccesses, etc... Get a dual cpu motherboard and a TNT-2 based video card, and you will be totally impressed by BeOS.
