What is missing to make Haiku a Beta version?

Seems like the Haiku has lots of good stuff and basic apps to do fun things.

What is considered missing today that would make Haiku be considered a Beta version?

Thanks

First off it needs to end being Alpha, in which it needs the PackageManager, Wireless and PasswordManager to be done and ready.

(go here for info on R1A3: http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/R1A3-Third-Times-the-Charm,29)

Secondly it needs to be polished to the subjective level in which the core developers are happy with it and then they will release the first Beta R1B1.

Yup…

Haiku is missing a GUI interface for critical system elements like Internet, administration and security.

Setting up these tasks in Windows, Mac and Linux is a breeze today.

There is the reason why Haiku isn’t easy to use from the get-go and in my opinion, is the only thing that hinders its usability as an every day computing system.

yes becuase 94% of windows machines have one user account. Admin.

Haiku is single user in R1, it has internet configuration GUI and there is no security issue I know of.
