It seems there is a new version of BeOS for download although it is a developers edition.

The BeOS offers a new level of price-performance, and a dramatic reduction in the complexity of software development. It is a modern, multithreaded, symmetric multiprocessing true multitasing, protected memory OS with a 64-bit journaling file system delivering the performance required for multimedia applications. The BeOS offers unprecedented user responsiveness, enabling real-time manipulation and feedback capabilities in your applications.
You develop for the BeOS in C++ using a powerful Object Framework API that gives you a rich set of user interface, 3D, I/O, sound and other widgets. In those instances when the API doesn´t give you what you need it´s easy to inherit and voerride to make what you´re looking for.
BeOS is not backward compatible, ist doesn´t support twenty-year-old ideas. But for users involved in digital design, and who need more power than today´s operating-systems can deliver, and for developers who are building the tools these people use, the BeOS represents a new field in which to lay down fresh tracks
