Be is a great OS for some people, not so great for others. It doesn't try
to be a monolith like Windows. Why not try the FREE edition that can be
booted from Windows?
Very fast and user friendly (it nearly became OSX but NeXT jumped in there)
but more for personal use than for servers etc.
Mail me if you want some more info. IMHO it's brilliant so expect a biased

Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for
their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that
you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it. Richard Dawkins
