Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 118 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mekanix on 08-Nov-2001 15:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 74 (windtalkers): BeOS was given away because they shifted their focus to BeIA, expecting it to generate the revenue while BeOS would be the development platform for BeIA (kinda like what QNX is doing).
The failure? Be focusshift was premature, world wasn't and still isn't ready for internet appliences. So no income.
Be played a highrisk game and lost.
Be might still be alive as an OS-vendor if it hadn't released BeOS for free or at least had secured some sort of revenue before doing so. |
