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.

Theres people still selling GEOS. Its what, fourteen years out of date?
Its also unlikely to be as far as 2010 before its usable. I'd say 2006 is much more realistic for R1.
To this date, I get comments on BeOS's usability, speed, etc. If Haiku can even *partially* recreate this, it will find a market. Maybe not a big one, but big enough to keep development going, and ensure that theres enough of a driver and software base to ensure people will continue to come to it.
Will Longhorn even be out before Haiku R1. Thats actually a good point to ruminate on.
