Impressions â Haiku R1 Alpha 2 â With Screenshots
,----[ Quote ]
| Haiku is an exciting new adventure. I love
| the idea of new Open Source and Free
| operating systems making their appearance.
| As a desktop OS there is work to be done
| as far as the user interface goes. How
| long before we have a stable final
| release? I donât know, it has been in
| development for the better part of nine
| years, and development seems to have sped
| up recently with two major releases less
| than a year apart.

The one kind of open source, and the other kind
,----[ Quote ]
| Consider Linux: early on, it was bashed on
| quality, security usability, being "only
| for techies," and held at arm's length by
| the corporate world in general. Yet today
| it has matured to the point there probably
| isn't a big corporation on the face of the
| earth that doesn't use Linux in one way or
| another. Similarly, Lucene reached a
| tipping point three or four years ago with
| the introduction of Solr as a full-
| featured enterprise search server based on
| Lucene. At that point, still as a
| community project, it became competitive
| technically with commercial alternatives.
| An open source project in this state feeds
| on itself. More people use it, more people
| want to enhance it and a juggernaut is
| created.
