From the Dark Side 2-- Free BeOS v5 Personal Edition Available

for download but now it only works with Windows. A cool feature added for Wintels is that it works like Virtual PC, i.e. it is launched from a file on the hard drive rather than having to boot with it. The BeOS originally started on the PowerPC chip. It was PPC native and incredibly fast but after Apple bought NeXT and came out with the G3 computers it was ported to Wintel for further development and Mac development ended.
