May I ask what your tasks were you did with BeOS. Just curios.

Coding mostly, which is what I mainly use computers for; it offers pretty nice C++ APIs for building apps.

But I also used GoBe Productive, which is by far the nicest office suite I've tried.

And playing music, back then it was the only OS that could play an MP3 without skipping while you used the computer for something else.

  • I played around with BeOS a little about 25 years ago. It did perhaps the best job of remaining responsive under high load of any OS I've used.
