BeOS Release 5 is currently scheduled to be completed and shipped in the first half of 1999. Of course, you (and we) know the realities of the software industry, and that timeframe is our current best estimate, not a commitment.

As for the features of Release 5, you can read what our VP of Engineering, Steve Sakoman, had to say about it at our March 1998 Developers Conference, at:

http://www.be.com/developers/March98/presentations/KeynoteSession/index.html

(Steve's comments are midway through the transcript -- search for "Release 4" in your browser window.)


<< Will the BeOS be distributed outside of the US?  Will Be ever make the BeOS "open source" (that is, release the source code publicly)?  >>
