I have to say that BeOS is one of the best (if not THE best) Operating Systems that I have ever had the pleasure. It's just so solid and reliable. Needless to say that I've gotten rid of my Windows and Linux paritions.

I bought a copy of this back in 2001. It is no longer actively developed, but it is great software if you can find an older machine to run it on. The free version of BeOS 5, called Personal Edition, can be downloaded from [...] if you'd like to see if you have a machine that can run it before buying. The major problem most people run into is there is a kernel bug which prevents it from running on a computer with more than 1GB of ram. In 2000, this wasn't a problem, but obviously it is now. If you're interested in an updated version of BeOS 5 that runs on more modern hardware, download Haiku for free at [...]. It's only alpha right now, but it's a great operating system to experiment with.
