Though Haiku still has a ways to go until its ready for prime time. I think it has surpassed BeOS in many ways when comparing the underlying technologies that were developed to make the thing work. I myself come from the BeOS era and it is still my all time favorite operating system followed by classic MacOS. However, BeOS had its warts and was getting better and better with each release. Too bad we didn’t get to see what Dano could have been.
I hope Haiku doesn’t get rushed to the stable release. I hope that the last few things missing get resolved and I also hope the applications still having issues that come with Haiku out of the box get fixed and are ready to go when R1 stable is finally shipped.
