Hildesheim/ Paris/ Menlo Park
PIOS Computer AG, the German PowerPC company, and Be Incorporated, Menlo Park, California, have agreed upon a distribution agreement effective as of September 19th, 1996. PIOS will sell the BeBox with the Operating System BeOS and a bundled version of Code Warrior by Metrowerks to the German market.
PIOS sees the technology of BeBox multiprocessing computers as a breaktrough in price and performance. Thanks to its architectural benefits the BeOS will have a great future providing real preemptive multitasking and multithreading as well as multiprocessing.
PIOS will support the market introduction of Be products with all possible efforts. The key factor will be to support independent software developers on technological and marketing issues. The technology is ready to make a wave in the computer world. What is needed is a large number of killer applications utilizing the strength of the BeOS.
PIOS will set up an attractive developer support program. In close cooperation with Be Inc., it will provide an Internet based information infrastructure to speed up the development by third parties. Software developing enterprises of any size are expressively invited to send an email to <peterk@pios.de> or apply free of charge (there will be provided an own page for interactive registration in the next days, stay tuned).
