The BeOS Virtual Tour

BeOS Release 3 and Release 4


Welcome to the BeOS Screenshot Tour. It's impossible to pack the power, versatility, grace and beauty of the BeOS into a few words and pictures, but this tour will at least give you the slightest taste of the BeOS.

Of course, since you've got the BeOS CD, you can see the BeOS for yourself. This tour -- like a good guide book -- can show you where you might want to go and poke around to see the most interesting stuff.

Although this tour covers BeOS Release 3, it hits many of the high points of Release 4 as well. Check the Be web site for an updated version of this tour (which also contains much larger screenshots, removed in this version).
