“On Monday at the Demo2000 conference, the company will
unveil an operating system called BeIA, formerly code-named
Stinger, which is targeted at the nascent but potentially hot
market for Internet appliances — a market where the Wintel
alliance is not expected to dominate.”
“Unlike the PC computing market, the Internet appliance market
promises, for now, to create a level playing field.
‘We are not going to have any one operating system or one
environment that establishes a choke-hold on the market,’ said
Kevin Hause, an analyst at International Data Corp., a market
researcher. ‘There is an opportunity for Be in this space as well
as an opportunity for Linux and others.’ “
