    Interesting read, although I still think that haiku's interface leaves much to be desired.

    Unlike Canonical, Haiku is more concerned with making everything work before they change it any superficially.

    They don't seem interested in changing it, even after all the guts of the os works.

    It's smart not to even make it relevant. The majority of the work should be put towards a fully stable system, and not the visual marketing. There are multitudes of other people that could do the job better than developers.

    You have to remember that the Haiku interface is basically the BeOS interface, as Haiku is a reconstruction of BeOS. BeOS was competing with Windows 9x and BeOS was massively better.

    Personally I quite like the interface, its clean and simple and wastes very little screen space. My guess will be that Haiku R2 will be be quite improved and updated.

    Do we need another OS? I don't know, but Haiku makes me believe..
    What a sweet little OS.
    ..and the writing's on the wall,
    but the walls have all come down,
    if you can't see past the truth,
    I love to let you down..

    I don't like KDE at all, or any of the MS Windows GUIs. That doesn't mean that they aren't found to be great by multitudes of other users.

    Why not?

    I think Haiku with enough applications with it's lightning boot times, lightness, responsiveness, and efficient use of screen space would be very cool on netbooks
