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.

You do know that serious development takes a lot of time, do you?
It's a very big project - we have a complete OS to build, not just the parts that you can see in a user interface.
And you already told us two years ago that we'll need 10 years to do it - why be surprised when we're not finished now?
(even if I am still sure we won't need 10 years to get R1 out)
Maybe we're not communicating our progress so well that it reaches you completely, but we're progressing nonetheless.
> And WHEN it is ready, it will just be a BeOS 5, pretty much.
Not true. I am so broad to say that it will be the best BeOS you've ever used. Even though we're "recreating R5", it won't be an exact clone, it'll be much more mature and functional.
"Still BeOS" you might think, and yes, that's our goal.
