BeOs didn't succeed with x86. Some developers said that those who has originally used BeOs started to use window/Linux and stopped to support original BeOs apps because everythig was easier with Windows/Linux.
Linux easier? I'm not a developer but as a user Linux was stinking pile of dog **** next to BeOS. Log onto any major distro forum and watch the same questions pop up from users year after year after year.
One of my regrets in computing is that the open source movement chose to support Linux. The only thing it has going for it is the 20 mb kernel. The GUI is rubbish, as is its reliance on the CLI.
