BeOS R5 so the last one proted to ppc is still useable now, I use to use it all the Time on my PCs, and on my S900 with 2x200 mhz ppc 604e, it run far better than any Mac OS, and is more useable with more modern tool than any Mac OS 7,8,9.
Except, of course, OS X!
I played with BeOS 4 and 4.5 on my S900. It was OK, but BeOS always seemed to me to be a solution looking for a problem. What exactly was the point? Spinning teapots are only interesting for about 5 minutes before you realize you can't do anything else with it! It had (at that time) no email, no newsgroups, and the web browser sucked. Perhaps if they had bothered to finish it before releasing it, it might have gone somewhere.
