What I found appealing about the BeOS was exactly this idea of a custom OS dedicated to the program. Just as stand-alone hard-disk recorders, samplers and synths have their own OSs, Logic and other programs could have used Be as something approaching a proprietary OS, designed specifically to run the program alone. Taking this idea to extremes, programs such as Logic could come bundled with their own OS (isn't that just another description of various hard-disk recorders?) - but I realise that this will probably never happen due to the complexity and costs/relative to market size of building an OS that can run a full-fledged computer.
