  1. Why Palm bought BeOS (not Be, Inc.) on Be Sues Microsoft for Violations of Antitrust Laws · · Score: 1
    But that brings an interesting question: did Palm buy Be for their technology or mostly because they could sue Microsoft? which 1)is their competitor and 2)has a lot of money to give them. I hope they bought it for their technology.

    Palm bought BeOS for the technology.

    Palm only bought Be's intellectual property. Palm did not buy Be, Inc., which still exists as a separate entity (albeit one which no longer owns BeOS). Palm is *not* a party to this lawsuit.

    I'm (still) a Be shareholder, and I know whereof I speak.
