Yes Al, I agree. I remember when Be and the BeBox were first announced. Wow ! was I excited. A while back I discovered SkyOS and my old excitement was revived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyOS They had the professionalism and the open source principles in balance. I also stumbled on Haiku too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system) Only now is the whole thing comming together in my aging head. My excitement is returning (again). But I am still worried that autocracy of professionalism is a two edged sword. Open and close are not only heterogenous concepts. They are also homogenous. Each being the condition of the existence of the other. I remain optimistic
Cheers and rosuccess

This is just a note to say that the ReactOS Project and the Haiku Project are the two most exciting projects in the Open Source Community today!
You guys are creating a historic piece of software here...
When you get to the 1.0 Release, you will have done something NEVER done before.
Clone the most popular OS ever written.
And I look forward to that first boot of 1.0

Huh? SkyOS is not open source. The wikipedia page you link to starts: "SkyOS is a proprietary operating system"

Neither was BeOS, he's just reminiscing about old, good, alternative OSes...
