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.

>The goal is to recreate BeOS R5, I dont ever think they mentioned a timeframe, or did they?
They have mentioned timeframes many times in the past (check their mailing lists of 1-2 years ago), mentioning the release of the first alpha version that was never materialized.
And besides, it doesn't matter if they didn't mentioned a release time. You see, the goal was to ACCOMODATE the FLEED BeOS 5 users right after the demise of Be. EVEN if you never set a release date, you only have 1-2 years to materialize a fully stable release before you fall back to the OS technology race and lose pace. That's the market reality. After that time has passed, you are screwed for many reasons that I am too bored to mention them again.
