Page "Be Inc." Paragraph 2

The main intent of Be was to develop a new operating system using the C ++ programming language on a proprietary hardware platform.

The BeOS ran on the BeBox, but was later ported to Apple Computer's Power Macs despite resistance from Apple, due to the hardware specifications assistance of Power Computing.

In 1998, the system was ported to the Intel x86 architecture, and PowerPC support was reduced, finally being dropped after BeOS R5.
