What would have been interesting is if Apple had bought Be in 1993 or 1994, and incorporated BeOS tech in System 8, then wound up buying NeXT anyway at the end of 96 and OS X incorporated Be and NeXT tech.
Though it's entirely possible Jobs would have tossed the BeOS tech along with Quickdraw GX, Newton, etc.
