Be alleged in a lawsuit[0] that ms settled without admitting wrongdoing for US ~$23 million that Hitachi, Compaq and others vacated agreements in place to ship pcs preloaded in dualboot configurations with BeOS and Windows due to ms anger and resulting anticompetitive threats.

Be was pretty much a shell company by the time the lawsuit was filed and resolved.
