SMP has always been important to Be.  In fact, they designed their own
system, the BeBox, which used it--partly, I think, because they got tired
of waiting for SMP to be available (see
http://www.be.com/support/qandas/faqs/faq-0155.html). 

FreeBSD also does SMP (http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html).
