A lot of applications are making use of spotlight too. and 3rd-party developers can create plugins to have their application data indexed in special ways. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spotlight/

In particular, I think Benoit (the guy who made BeFS) is at Apple now. As for Open Source BeOS, I wouldn't hold my breath. But at least there is Zeta if you want to pay for some BeOS R5 updates.

I loved it when it was out, it is too bad it never really caught on. Also, it is too bad Jean-Louis Gasse and Steve Jobs had their little squabble or whatever. BeOS could have been Mac OS X. Oh wells. Maybe some day they'll Open Source BeOS. BeOS was a kick-ass OS. I loved it when it was out, it is too bad it never really caught on.
