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.

What can I say? 3dEyes told me he almost didn't noticed the difference between native and Qt-software while he tested it.
Now I'm just happy that all Qt-related stuff is at least not slow and sluggish as someone said to me years ago. Seems like those words was total BS, especially for the Haiku Qt 4 port. Excuse me sir, I has to stand up and perform "The Happy Haiku Dance" right now...

That's nice to read but note that speed is very different from reactivity..
A good way to see this is that computers are much faster now than they way in BeOS days, but they aren't really more responsive with the 'normal' OSs that we use now.
