    I liked BeOS

    I never had the chance to use it but those tabbed title bars were slick.

    it was very, very nice and really fast, especially if you actually were running it on a BeBox. sadly, there was barely any software beyond some really nice audio production software.

    Apple got very very close to licensing it for OS X to replace their aging Macintosh System Software, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead.
