"Young children have no pre-conceived notions of which operating system certain large corporations feel should dominate the world," said Teletubbies creator Anne Wood. "Unlike many adults who stick to their 'favorite' operating system with a blind religious fanaticism not seen since the Crusades, children are open to the idea that some tools are better for some jobs than others."

Be, Inc. CEO Jean-Louis Gassée is said to keep several prototype Teletubbies around Be headquarters to keep things interesting, and is considering adapting them into some kind of BeOS consumer portable.
