Haiku (OpenBeOS)'s third birthday was a few days ago. While some BeOS parts have been successfully re-implemented so far, these were mostly the 'trivial' parts: screensaver kit, printing kit etc. Read more for a mini-editorial.

It really is a shame that such a great idea doesn't have any serious backing. Yeah, there is yellowtab, but even they are slow to show any progress. I've tried zeta, and yes most everything works. But unfortunately most third party development is aimed at Windows, MacOSX, and linux. Not really much room left to support another platform.
Which is quite unfortunate. On one hand we have Mac OSX and linux, which were designed initially to be server systems that we have frankensteined to be desktop systems. And we have Windows that was designed to be a jack of all trades (master of none). BeOS was one of the first OSi that I heard of that was marketed for desktop use, besides Mac OS9(and previous) - And it showed. Too bad it died. And yes BeOS in all of its forms is dead.
