BeOS is an operating system for personal computers which began development by Be Inc. in 1991.

However, it was ultimately unable to achieve a significant market share and proved commercially unviable for Be Inc.

Apple CEO Gil Amelio started negotiations to buy Be Inc., but negotiations stalled when Be CEO Jean-Louis Gassée wanted $ 200 million ; Apple was unwilling to offer any more than $ 125 million.

Due to Apple's moves and the mounting debt of Be Inc., BeOS was soon ported to the Intel x86 platform with its R3 release in March 1998.

As a last-ditch effort to increase interest in the failing operating system, Be Inc. released a stripped-down, but free, copy of BeOS R5 known as BeOS Personal Edition ( BeOS PE ).

Be Inc. also released a stripped-down version of BeOS for Internet Appliances ( BeIA ), which soon became the company's business focus in place of BeOS.

In 2002, Be Inc. sued Microsoft claiming that Hitachi had been dissuaded from selling PCs loaded with BeOS, and that Compaq had been pressured not to market an Internet appliance in partnership with Be.

Be also claimed that Microsoft acted to artificially depress Be Inc .' s initial public offering ( IPO ).< ref >
