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.

I am one of those who decided not to use Zeta. My decision isn't to "financially crucify" a company. A large part of it is that BeOS R5 is still working quite well for me (with a few minor problems due to lack of drivers). Another part of my decision is that they still aren't at 1.0 yet. They have more in place than Haiku, but they also started with the existing system. I have no problem paying for something that meets my needs, but Zeta doesn't offer enough beyond R5 for me, at least not yet.
