Post in our Haiku forum on why we love Haiku so much, might be worth reading if you are interested in alternative operating systems. :)

Honest question/honest answer: why Haiku?

In response to a recent post on the interwebs, someone asked me: What do you like about Haiku? I know nothing about it. An honest question deserves an honest answer, so my response was… Nothing but nostalgia, really. i was at Compaq when they shipped BeOS (Haiku’s predecessor) for one whole product cycle before BeOS went defunct. At the time i was still pining a bit for OS/2 Warp and BeOS had a similar vibe. That said… It’s highly performant. One of the snappiest UIs i’ve ever used. ...

Three weeks into my "Without Apple Experiment", the most important discovery thus far is how good web apps have become.

The open web is fantastic and works the same on every platform.

This is coming from someone who was a die hard Apple native mac apps fan.

To that end, the #broswer is more important than the #operatingsytem

Experiment: Ecosystem without Apple

Learning to live without, at least for a little while.
