BeOS, as well as the Be hardware, are both pretty cool. I
don't think the OS ever got outside the realm of just being for
tinkerers though since it had few real applications. I never did
have any luck installing it on real Pentium machines at home though
and unfortunately it's not supported as of yet by Virtual PC.
