No, it's not. Be Inc. is facing financial problems as every .com company that
opened its shares is. Take a look at NaN (the guys that did Blender), for
example.
BeOS is not dead.
I'm sorry for posting this to this list, specially that it's not directly
related to BeOS, but I think I should make it clear in case the guys at REBOL
Technologies started wondering if it's true.
