   I used BeOS for several years until thier demise (from release 4 until   
   death), and was very sad to see it go. If you are talking about what   
   hardware I'd like to see, basically compatibility with anything out   
   there. Firewire, USB, DVD, TV etc. Definately dual (or more   
   processors) and more memory than anyone can stand. The problem with   
   offering BeOS hardware is of course BeOS it's self. It's easily the   
   best OS ever made, but hardware support became it's biggest hurdle.   
   Who buys a computer these days that can't be upgraded? If I were to   
   buy a Bebox, I would want to be able to upgrade it a year or two after   
   and know I wouldn't have to deal with less than optimised drivers,   
   video codecs etc.
