Haiku alpha: Wow. Just wow.
,----[ Quote ]
| For alpha release software, this is a very promising show. I
| like almost everything about this â the size of the
| installation, the desktop look, the clean way the system
| applications and desktop widgets handle themselves. If I can
| track down why the network was inaccessible I definitely plan
| on reinstalling it and giving it another whirl.

Hands-on: Haiku, the future of BeOS, is pure poetry
,----[ Quote ]
| In the spirit of BeOS, Haiku's boot performance is very
| good. In my tests, I got from the startup splash screen
| to a fully usable desktop in roughly four seconds. This
| is one of Haiku's strengths relative to modern
| operating systems and it is the envy of prominent Linux
| distributions that are ambitiously aiming for similarly
| fast startup.

Haiku OS Beta 1: Simple Is Beautiful
,----[ Quote ]
| Two things about Haiku stand in stark contrast to Linux. The first is
| the licensing -- it's far more liberally licensed than Linux, and so
| lends itself to being shaped and implemented in far broader ways. The
| other is how Haiku is developed -- as a total desktop stack, rather
| than a kernel plus userland tools plus windowing system plus window
| manager, etc., etc. It's already made a great deal of difference in
| terms of the way the whole thing feels and works. It embodies
| elegance, even if some of the individual windowing/UI metaphors are a
| bit aged and could use some slicking-up.
