I actually used BeOS as my main OS for quite a while. I actually thought it was going to be the "one", as far as OS's go. I think everyone knew the writing was on the wall by the time version 5 hit the streets.

The BeOS was fast, and was amazing at multi-tasking. It didn't hurt that the OS booted up and was running in about 20 seconds. I still don't think much around now can touch it as far as multi-tasking goes. It was impressive then, and in that regard is still light years ahead of windows.

I think I still have all the intel releases laying around here somewhere.
