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.

4 years ago I would have agreed. But after my experience with the demise of Be I learned the lesson that with closed source software you risc spending hundreds of hours only to be left in the dark due to some business decisions.
I don't argue that because of that Haiku is the best choice. (you have good points and there are other things I don't like about Haiku), but I'll think twice before going to Zeta. Not that I don't want to pay, but because I don't want to be left in the same situation if YellowTab folds in a year or so. The doubtful legal status of Zeta doesn't make it better.
Had Zeta been Open Source and legally clean, then I would not think twice about paying YT for a copy.
