where we went wrong with Windows and Unix. It's a must-see OS, IMHO.
Actually, its a glimpse of where Apple went wrong. The creative force
behind BeOS was at Apple and couldn't get anyone at Apple interested

remaining IP of the company that had any promise of a future, Apple
still wasn't interested.
