Star Three Years of Haiku: The Long Road to Evolution
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Tue 24th Aug 2004 21:07 UTC
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.

RE: Haikus Future

>I'd say 2006 is much more realistic for R1.

Kian, you are really naive. In 2002, people were saying that 2004 would be the R1 release. In two years, you will be telling us about 2008. Just read the archives here at osnews of what people were saying about haiku's release date! Trust me, Haiku is A LONG WAY OFF.

>Theres people still selling GEOS. Its what, fourteen years out of date?

Yeah, they sell 3 copies per month. Big deal.

>Will Longhorn even be out before Haiku R1. Thats actually a good point to ruminate on.

Windows XP is already WAY MORE USEFUL than BeOS 5, and it is available since 2002. So, even if Longhorn comes out in 2020, MS can beat BeOS5 straight, with XP.
