I love reading these reports. I think it’s likely that I’ll never run Haiku in anything but a VM, but it does give me some hope to know that somewhere out there are communities that are willing to put their time and energy behind alternative OSes.
When it’s time to retire an aging computer I like to install Haiku/Redox/ReactOS/whatever on it. In addition to poking around and seeing what’s there, it’s such a cool experience to get some software to build on it, run it, and see it working in this new “alien world.” Some OS projects (like AROS) I’ve only run in a VM, and at least for me, bare metal makes it more real and fun.
This is a nice report about good technical work, and I just want to say that the Haiku community is really friendly and helpful.

I installed haiku on my laptop and I actually miss the interface a lot. I really liked its tabbing window system.
