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.

Maybe i could agree with Eugenia in some points if she didn't propose Zeta as solution together with bashing uncertain "BeOS users".
I think that this is underestimation of intellectual abilities or ethical sense or at least ability to decide what they need. Some do believe that YT is credible enough to bring something new into BeOS and keep it alive, some are are very unsure if this is the case. As, for example, most of drivers which in reality keep BeOS alive are coming from Open Source developers, not from YT. Same for most important apps.
And if YT is doing in reality huge work inside, probably it isn't visible enough outside. Again that story about PR and publicity.
So here is complex mix of problems and such generalization about users is too harsh.
