Charles- When I first posted the 50's Detroit analogy I was thinking how that
deliberately producing an inferior product generates sales e.g Win98 has less
bugs than Win95 so I'll pay the $100. and upgrade. I wasn't aware that the
imports then were inferior too. I was impressed with the first Japanese import
I drove in 1966. It was as Datsun 4 door sedan I rented at LA airport.
Accelerating onto the freeway I remember thinking this car is something else.

Your point about the quality coming later raises an interesting point. Will
someday Microsoft offer a premium quality product. NT is premium
but as far as quality goes that is only relative to Win95.

My feeling is that BeOS is quality. It's incomplete but I suspect that
the missing pieces will arrive with the same quality as the original.
This makes it interesting because as an upstart you can afford quality
as growth comes from increasing market share not churning your
customers.

I 'm also thinking with BeOS's speed and multiprocessor capability it may become
the platform of choice for Internet servers based on performance.

P.S. Check this out for dual PPro motherboard

onsale.com

BeOS compatible.

P.P.S. PPro 180's are in the $90 range. Most are reliable
at 233MHz.
