I wouldn't say that all the development hours have been wasted. While you can argue that releasing the source would provide for quicker adoption of Be features by other OSes, the functionality and concepts that Be handled correctly can still be emulated. Now, more than ever, OS developers should be interested in adopting ideas found in Be OS in order to woo Be users looking for a new platform.
