be had their "focus shift" shortly before i started. after that, they were no longer pushing beos as a standalone product. they repurposed it as an os for embedded devices. the whole company was working on the ill-fated sony evilla when i got there.
it was pretty obvious to me and most of my fellow employees i talked to that this product was not going to be a success. it wasn't.
be went out of business seven months after i got there and i was laid off. would have been a good experience if i'd jumped on the bandwagon two or three years earlier, i bet.
