Who here uses BeOS?

1000schnauzers:
I've got a stack of PC games knee-deep that I never get to play, so I'm building a gaming machine.  I'm looking into BeOS, since I heard it's a good gaming OS and I'm loathe to put any more M$ bullshit on my machines than I absolutely have to. Does anybody use it?  Will it support any game that's supposed to run in Win?

choasforages:
probaly not unless you use some wine and deep voodoo magic, but i have used it and it is sweet.

TheQuirk:
No, your games won't run, but BeOS (no more, Be they closed) is firggen KICK ASS. I even talk to one of the kernel developers sometimes :) . (he made his AIM publicly available).

Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
Im interested in this OS, how good are they on Laptops?  Infact how good is their hardware support.

choasforages:
pretty good, you can download it at www.bebits.com it supports a fair amount of hardware but i havn't used it as much as linux or the *bsd's. as for it being closed, their is a project  called openbeos that is rebuilding it. but it's still in its infancy.
