"Ultimately, Haiku represents a different way of viewing your personal computer. If you think that software shouldn't be riddled with bugs and incompatibilities and inefficiencies, if you hate being forced to swap out your hardware and software every few years because 'upgrades' have rendered them obsolete, and if you find that the idea of using an operating system that's fast, responsive, and simple is refreshingly novel and appealing, then maybe, just maybe, Haiku is for you." What fascinates me the most is that Haiku's not working on a tablet version. How delightfully quaint.

Hi,
Actually the reverse is true. It was designed to run on PCs then later ported to bigger iron.
No.
Linux is based around a kernel that was originally designed for servers (back in the late 1960's by AT&T employees at Bell Labs).
In a similar way, Haiku is based around a kernel that was originally designed for desktop systems (in the early 1990's by Be Inc).
