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.

FULLY AGREED.

This is NOT a reason to succeed either! Based on the current situation with Haiku, it moves on WAY TOO SLOW to be taken seriously. And WHEN it is ready, it will just be a BeOS 5, pretty much.
Can you imagine trying to "sell" a BeOS 5 to the users of 2010 that are used to crazy Longhorn/OSX stuff? This is just laughable!
Haiku had its chance, it failed. Now, it's too late to do ANYTHING. At least, not with these 5 developers it has overall who know what they are doing! You can't make a difference with the current situation! Be realistic please!
