I was always in favor of BeOS. BeOS was a great OS, way ahead of its time. I never ran it on a personal system myself, but I had occasion to play with it a bit.
Linux may have long Unix teeth, but it's still growing and evolving.
Windows, I'm sorry to say, appears to be thrashing, trying to figure out what it needs to become. I hope Microsoft finds their way soon.

I still have a BeOS Desktop around here somewhere.
Having been involved in real time embedded control systems in the 80’s BeOS was a siren call. Too bad it had to hit the wall.

I think there is/was a BeOS clone that I put in a VB some computers ago.
I’ll have to drag it off some HD in the pile...
