It seems like only yesterday when Haiku was nothing more than a mere promise. Oh how the times have changed, as evidenced by yesterday's news: Colin Guenther has ported the FreeBSD WiFi stack to Haiku, and managed to get a connection, browse the internet, and download a large file.

It'd be helpful to look at what the 8 bugs are: some are real show-stoppers, such that those currently using Haiku for anything important (if you don't count developing Haiku and testing it as important) are living dangerously. The developers are doing great work, but there's a valid reason why it is still being officially labeled as "pre-alpha" and they don't do so lightly.

Yes, I don't know why they want to delay an alpha release from only 8 bugs !!
Well, if the bugs are something like: "BFS corrupts files on the disk sometimes for unknown reasons", or: "Haiku must boot and install from a LiveCD"... then one realize perhaps those aren't 8 simple and easy-to-fix bugs...

On the plus side, Haiku's pre-alpha state is in many ways better than lots of other software's beta-gamma-RC-1.0 releases.
+1, I was in the Free Software Meeting, and the guy from Haiku team said that there was 8 bugs to resolve before releasing the Alpha o.O !!!
