 - This is a GREAT DEALIf you were to go to a bookstore to buy BeOs it would be $69,then the BeOs Bible would be $29. Do the math... this is DEFINITELYworth the price. To upgrade to 4.5.2 is a 6 meg download....even someone on a dial up could handle that. If you are considering BE...this is the route to take. Rating: - BEIf you would like a cross between Win95 and Linux, Be is it. This OS boots up in a fraction of the time [15 seconds]. Networking is not a hassle. Dail-up are easily set up. E-mail and Weh are a peice of cake to. The BeOS Bible that is included is a great reference for finding out the little things. The thing that really got me was the speed and the stability. I've never had the system lock-up [like Win95 so often] and I never had to restart the computer after changing anything in the Networking properties. This really is a great OS, I'm happy. Rating: - BEOS.......Great piece of work....Apple's loss is the rest of the worlds gain. BeOs is the best thing to hit the OS market since the conception of GUI. The longest it ever took me to boot was 30 seconds, my average was 17 seconds. That is faster than Linux, Windoze, Macos, OS/2, NT....any of them. THe only thing that Be is lacking in is a port of Diablo and Hotline....other than that I say FULL STEAM AHEAD! Rating:  - be delighted!After using Windows for quite some years, after Windows 98 the ideas of Microsoft and me of what to look for in an operating system didn't match anymore. Windows was becoming too bloated with features while the kernel and became essentially slow. I tried several systems, like OS/2 and Linux but only BeOS forfilled all my expectations. Wow! This operating system is stable, fast and there are already a lot of applications available, such as WordProcessors, E-mail programs, games and, most important for me, a WinAmp look-a-like mp3 player. If you have the same doubts about MS than i have, then don't hesitate and get a copy of BeOS. Be delighted! Rating: - The REAL OS for the Millenium...and fun too!Having left the Linux craze for good (felt that the purity of Linux is taking the path of the 'Darkside' much like MS), I decided to embark on a 'OSpiritual' journey to find an alternative OS. I found Be a month ago, tried the demo and fell in love with it. Now it sits as my primary OS (with Windows 2000 Beta3 2nd) and it has just been heaven. The only time I can remember when I was this happy is when I got my first PC. This 'baby-OS' is definately the Millenium OS. Now whenever I meet with a 'Lin-hovah' withness, I just say 'Be', wave my hand like a 'Bedi', and leave with smile on my face.
