Anytime. I felt a bit of BeOS deja vu tonight myself, since I just came back from a party too where most of the people there were ex-BeOS engineers or developers (most of them now work for Google's Android or Palm's WebOS).
Among them was GeB who I haven't seen in a few years. GeB was the developer of one of the most popular BeOS utils, ProcessController: http://www.bebits.com/app/313
So when I came back home and saw the Haiku announcement, I had to do something about it. ;-)

That's really funny because Rene Gollent and I were just talking about GeB and hoping he might one day be enticed back into developing for Haiku. ProcessController is an impressive application and one we love to show off inside Haiku.
Well whether or not GeB returns his BeOS legacy will live on in Haiku.

This is an exciting time for we Haiku developers, and though it has been a long time in the making, it is still a proud moment.
I hope all the people waiting for a release before using Haiku can now finally try it out!
