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.

PhOS is a joke, a HOBBY of a single developer. At least YellowTAB is a real company (to the best of my knowledge, however there will be people who won't agree with this either). No, YellowTAB hasn't paid anyone to write the article (I don't need money, I have enough), and I don't care less about yTAB anyway. However, at least they *seem* more of a real company trying to make a difference by developing some things of their own rather than creating a distro of a leaked BeOS version. Zeta is probably also based on a leaked version, but at least yellowTAB has done SOME engineering on top. It didn't just package things. They recreated a full USB-2 stack for starters, and that's huge.
