BEOS - An operating system designed by Be, Inc. The original goal of BeOS was to create an OS able to process multiple digital media streams efficiently, with no loss of performance. This contrasts to the design goal of the Windows OS, which had trouble with such operations, especially in older versions. The BeOS was originally designed to work on the PowerPC architecture, and was then ported to he x86 architecture. Be Incorporated, the company that made BeOS, was dissolved in November 2001 and its assets were sold to Palm, Inc. |
