Qt The Haiku alpha is barely out the door, and we already have another important news item about the open source reimplementation of the BeOS. About 18 months ago, Evgeny Abdraimov started porting the Qt4 graphical toolkit to Haiku, and now, we ave some seriously epic screenshots showing a multitude of Qt4 applications running in Haiku, as well as a developer preview release.

yup. Haiku is about freedom and choices. Now haiku itself won't have several haiku api's and DE's. Haiku has just one to call its own. Everything within haiku will be nice and clean and under control. But apps outside Haiku can't be expected to meet the standards and wishes of the Haiku devs.

What Haiku can do is provide some sort of 'certification' for quality apps that use native api's and features. This way the user will know what to look for and be in a better position to choose apps that show off Haiku.
