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.

Stability, and Usability
by Kian Duffy on Tue 24th Aug 2004 22:04 UTC

I'm stably using the translation kit, print kit, a number of pref apps, most of the CLI apps, bits of the media kit (considering going over to all soon), and not-quite-so-stably using the screensaver kit. However, anything stable in Zeta is from Dano. And what they'd added, particularly at the low level, is so unstable it makes the system unusable.

Haiku has a future. YellowTAB are selling to an ever dwindling market and paying developers. If Be couldn't make it, YellowTAB can't. Haiku doesn't have to make money, it doesn't have to pay developers. It can make it.
