BeOS & Derivatives 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.

My computer still only runs BeOS, and I must say I agree with what you stated in this mini-editorial. Even though I spend more time on my iMac lately (hey it's all new to me). I will never ever delete my BeOS. You said once in an interview that BeOS felt as if it had a "soul", and you couldn't have said it better.

And yes, Haiku needs to get their act together or else they will go down in history as "that failed attempt at recreating one of the best OS's ever."

A shame, really.
