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.

>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?
Because your project gave FALSE promises to the beos users when it started (berfore you joined). You do agree with me that this will take many years (from what I get from your comment), all I want you to do, is simply tell it so clearly for everyone to hear. I had enough of people telling me that "it will be readyh next year". I am sick of reading such naive crap from users who don't know jack of what it takes to create such an OS.
> it'll be much more mature and functional.
Honestly, I don't believe that. Your OS has no chance to compete with Longhorn's features or OSX's features of the time. It will just be a "better BeOS 5" (and if that). It's just won;'t be enough.
