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.

Ten Years

Err, first publicly available release of BeOS was '96. Started in '91. Thats five years.

Also, take a gander at a Windows copyright notice. 1985-2000 in the case of the machine I'm on now.

OS's are in a constant state of development. The Linux kernel is fourteen years old, Windows is 19 years old. 9 years from start to "finish" (R5) isn't terribly bad in comparison
