Anyone have BeOS Developer Releases?

Haiku doesn't use the BeOS API
Then it's not much use as a BeOS system, that's like a version of Windows that does not support the Win32 API. Or a UNIX that does not provide the ANSI C library.
it just aims for compatibility with it
like WINE. :🙂

Even then, the desire to release iTunes for Windows (thus make the halo-effect a reality rather than a theory) was probably the result of negotiating the rights with music publishers (necessary for the iTMS).

Actually, I think Jobs got the original iTMS contracts because it was originally launching to just Mac users - a much smaller control group, if you will, for the wary music companies.
