Be Incorporated  Delists From Nasdaq  National  Market and Files  Certificate of
Dissolution

MOUNTAIN VIEW,  Calif.--March 15, 2002--Be Incorporated (Nasdaq: BEOS) announced
today that it has  voluntarily  delisted  from, and will no longer be traded on,
the Nasdaq  National  Market.  Also today, Be filed a certificate of dissolution
with the Delaware  Secretary of State in accordance with the plan of dissolution
approved by stockholders on November 12, 2001 and as set forth in the Definitive
Proxy  Statement  filed on October 9, 2001.  The record  date,  for  purposes of
determining the  stockholders  that will be eligible to participate in the final
distribution  of Be's  assets,  if any,  was set as March 15,  2002.  Be's stock
transfer  books were closed as of the end of trading on March 15,  2002,  and it
has ceased recording transfers of shares of its common stock.


Pursuant  to Delaware  law, Be will  continue to exist for three years after the
dissolution becomes effective or for such longer period as the Delaware Court of
Chancery  shall  direct,  solely for the purposes of  prosecuting  and defending
lawsuits  (including  but not limited to pursuing  its  antitrust  case  against
Microsoft), settling and closing its business in an orderly manner, disposing of
any remaining  property,  discharging its  liabilities  and  distributing to its
stockholders  any remaining  assets,  but not for the purpose of continuing  any
business.  In accordance with the plan of dissolution,  after payment in full of
all claims  finally  determined  to be due,  Be will make  distributions  of any
remaining assets (including assets acquired after the record date), if any, only
to  stockholders of record at the time of closure of its stock transfer books on
the record date, March 15, 2002.


The timing and  amounts of any such  distributions  will be  determined  by Be's
Board of  Directors  in  accordance  with the plan of  dissolution.  Be may also
establish  a  liquidating  trust  for the  purpose  of  pursuing  the  antitrust
litigation against Microsoft,  liquidating the remaining assets of Be, paying or
providing for the payment of Be's remaining  liabilities  and  obligations,  and
making   distributions  to  Be's   stockholders.   If  a  liquidating  trust  is
established,  stockholders  will  receive  beneficial  interests  in the  assets
transferred to the liquidating  trust in proportion to the number of Be's shares
owned by such stockholders as of the record date.
