Be states nothing like this. Be is completely different and is happy to work right next to Windows. This is an entirely different situation. Not me, not you, not MS, not Be. And quite frankly, I don't care what everyone else is going to do.
Some people are capable of being independent and thinking for themselves.
Fot that matter, the MacOS once ruled the desktop. I'll agree there's no turning back - there is only moving forward. Which is my point exactly. An OS is only good to you if it does what you want. For many people Windows doesn't do what they want, and BeOS does.
