Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 65 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Graham on 08-Nov-2001 12:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 57 (Hans-Joerg Frieden): - Fact is, that in spite of offering *free* versions of BeOS to PC
- manufacturers, there was only one series of PC'S where BeOS was actually
- pre-installed, but disabled by default. You call that a success?
Yes, this was because of Microsofts monopolistic tactics that meant that the company couldn't advertise the systems as being able to boot BeOS, nor were they allowed to boot BeOS (terms of Windows bootloader - only MS OSs can be booted using it). The DoJ decision came 3 years too late for BeOS, and isn't enough to prevent this happening again.
This is another reason why you don't want to mess in the generic x86 PC market.
