>>359>is there any point in a consumer-oriented OS all the way down to the kernel?No. The consumer and professional worlds cross over too much. One man's work is another's pleasure. It's still an awesome OS.

>>449Haiku is trying to revive BeOS, which was targeting desktops, could run (at least multimedia) like nothing else of its time, had an object oriented system API and a database-like filesystem, among other awesome features.
