>>Ordinarily I'd disagree with you - but since BeOS has some pretty solid
plumbing underneath the pretty face this might not be a bad idea. 

  I think it'd be a great idea; It'd still be great if there was a 20%
performance hit over an optimized SMP-Linux, (I doubt it would be anywhere
*near* that high though) because you wouldn't have to deal with any
dual-booting or peripheral driver nonsense. Furthermore you'd have instant
access to actual word processors (not text editors) and other main stream
apps. The only thing you'd lose are really long file names.
