The Haiku alpha is barely out the door, and we already have another important news item about the open source reimplementation of the BeOS. About 18 months ago, Evgeny Abdraimov started porting the Qt4 graphical toolkit to Haiku, and now, we ave some seriously epic screenshots showing a multitude of Qt4 applications running in Haiku, as well as a developer preview release.

"We saw a similar thing happen with OS/2 Warp. Because it could happily support windows 3.1 apps, no one bothered making native ones."
here's how I see it. IBM wanted you to also buy their IBM PS/2. They didn't want drivers for non-IBM hardware.
Microsoft didn't care what PC you had: if their OS ran on many pc's it would be better for them. IBM's approach was doomed along with Amiga, Apple and all the others that didn't encourage open hardware.
