Operating Systems > Not Quite Mainstream OSes

What was BeOS?

<< < (4/8) > >>

noob:
windows is commercial and so should be up to date and capable of at least half decent security.

Gain a considerable userbase?  The company isn't even in business anymore. :p

[OFFTOPIC]The guy who ran Be, Inc. is the guy in themacuser's 2006 video responding "Windows" to the question about Obfusicated C. \o/[/OFFTOPIC]

Aloone_Jonez:
Yeah I know but my main point was we're probably better off with Windows than BeOS as the dominant OS.

H_TeXMeX_H:
I don't quite see the reasoning here ... :confused:

 Hold it.  You're saying that a system whose only significant in-roads regarding security have been to purchase competing, security-minded corporations and/or their products - subsequently redefining "security" to "whatever gets us the most customers" - since inception is somehow more secure than a system that was abandoned around the time they were driven out of business by product A?  You're assuming that they wouldn't make security changes, and that - at least to me - is one hell of an assumption.
