 PROFILE
The real question may be whether to merge or not to merge. Co-founded in 1990 by former Apple exec Jean-Louis Gassée, Be Incorporated makes two operating systems -- BeIA for Internet appliances and BeOS for desktop PC's (which the company is phasing out). Originally geared for the Apple computer market, Be tried to establish a presence in Microsoft's fiefdom with little success. Now refocused on handheld devices with BeIA, it has released portions of the source code for its products to attract application developers. Struggling to gain momentum, in 2001 the company announced that it was restructuring, cutting jobs, and considering a possible merger or sale of the company.
