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.

The only reason i should stop using Be is that any available computer with uptodate performance can be installed under Be !
I used every day HP-UX/Tru64/Linux/Win2K/WinXP and i'm still switch every evening to BeOS 'cause it's really what desktop os should be ! simple, fast and with all basic tools i need.
MacOSX is maybe the real alternative but Apple use proprietary machine at prices for californians. Even the $2500 is sold with a "3 pounds" graphic cards ! Sorry, i don't want to give my money to jobs (i bought a ibook 12" 800/128mb/40/combo : i gave it back after one week as 128Mb is unuseable under OSX ! Ok, i could buy en extra memory but why Apple don't provide directly 256Mb !!!)
By the way, i keep my BeOS (max + bone + french localized OT/MDR + Firefox + soundplay + vlc + cdrecord/helios + some HAIKU parts) ! And i will install HAIKU when it will the time.
