Yeah, when I tried BeOS back in the day, I was fairly impressed with its
multitasking performance.   I remember the demo app of the rotating cube, and
you could drag & drop photos and videos on all sides of the cube.  Even with
videos playing on all sides, it could still rotate the cube smoothly.  General
multi-tasking with other apps was great.

 g0> I wonder how well it runs with different hardware though. I can't imagine
 g0> they have good driver support for it.

Yeah, I don't think Haiku has great driver support yet, but it's a work in
progress.  Back in the day, there was also a fairly specific list of hardware
that worked best with BeOS.  I remember buying another sound card for BeOS back
in the day - I decided on a Sound Blaster AWE64, which of course also had good
support in DOS/Windows.
