BeOS Now!

Users:

The BeOS is still in Developer Release, and is not available for direct purchase. The BeOS DR8.2 CD is available with CodeWarrior for the BeOS, and was included with the January issue of MacTech magazine. It is upgradeable to DR8.3 via a downloadable update.

The first widely available version will be the Preview Release, available this summer. This Preview Release is the version which will ship wide and far, and is meant to quench some of the demand for the BeOS which we've seen recently. You'll be able to purchase it on-line this summer; there will likely be other means of obtaining it too.

In the meantime, a special "Advanced Access" release is being shipped out to our Registered Be Developers. It is a preliminary version of the Preview Release, and it's extremely raw--much more so than DR8.3. It is meant ONLY for programmers, so that they can begin creating applications which run on the full Preview Release this summer. In order to have applications ready for you, developers have to begin somewhere.

In the meantime, we're posting screenshots and features of the Preview Release for you to take a look at. Be sure to check the Products section of the web site for more information, as it's completely focused on the new Preview Release.

To receive the very latest information about the Preview Release, sign up on the Preview Release Information page. People who've signed up here (or are on any of the Be mailing lists) receive information about the Preview Release before it's posted on the web site; they truly get information before everyone else does. If you'd like to stay even more up to date with happenings at Be, we encourage you to sign up for the BeInfo mailing list; it receives the Be Newsletter every week, along with press releases as we release them. Then check back with the Be web site every week or so; we're constantly adding new information to the site.

The Advanced Access Preview Release is being mailed to you.
