Nothing is impossible, of course. Anyone can take Haiku as basis and try to build anything on top of it. I don’t think the Haiku devs will shift their focus from the Desktop, though.
Also consider that e.g. the Kodi team is bigger than the Haiku team, with a larger community and more financial support. And they have a working product with a 10 year head start, that already works pretty damn well on a wide range of hardware.
Makes you stop to wonder in awe what Haiku has achived over the years actually…
“Makes you stop to wonder in awe what Haiku has achieved over the years actually…”
I will rise to that!
The Haiku team has succeeded in breathing new life into the corpse of what, in a more perfect world, would have become the best and most successful operating system.
Although Haiku isn’t there yet it is already observably better than the blood-sucking beast that is Windows and the overly complex and unnecessarily fragmented world that is Linux and OSX.
Haiku is now very close to being all that most people need in an operating system, and also what most people desire - which is reliability, simplicity, and the ability to get the job done elegantly and unobtrusively.
So, well done, Humdinger, to you and your colleagues.
