Although not our original design focus, it's certainly possible. As a clean piece of new system software, the BeOS is much smaller and less encumbered than other PC OSes (such as Windows or the Mac OS). While we have no announcements to make at this time, you may find a recent Be Newsletter column by our CEO interesting on this point:

Does the portability of the BeOS mean you will be porting it soon?

How many processors can the BeOS take advantage of?
