angry tapir writes "BeOS may be dead, but over a decade after
its lamentable demise the open source Haiku project keeps its
legacy alive. Haiku is an attempt to build a drop-in, binary
compatible replacement for BeOS, as well as extending the
defunct OS's functionality and support for modern hardware. At
least, that's the short-term goal — eventually, Haiku is
intended significantly enhance BeOS while maintaining the same
philosophy of simplicity and transparency, and without being
weighed down with the legacy code of many other contemporary
operating systems. I recently caught up with Stephan Aßmus, who
has been a key contributor to the project for seven years to
talk about BeOS, the current state of Haiku and the project's
future plans."  How Haiku Is Building a Better BeOS  Comments
