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: Opensource Desktop OS
by Kian Duffy on Tue 24th Aug 2004 22:27 UTC

As goes there being a market for a good opensource desktop OS. The Irish state has rejected Linux as being unusable on the Desktop. They also want to reduce hardware renewal costs, as they'd like to move to an OS that doesn't force a complete upgrade with every major revision. I'm sure hundreds of schools, businesses, etc around the world have similar opinions.

If Haiku can get even a small number of these, its got its market.
