you need to calm down Apollo. sia is offering to do tons of work. what if it turns out great? isn't that of benefit to the beos community? if not, then we move on. this doesn't affect the current Haiku project at all except spending some time on this thread. -------- Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 1:11 PM From: "Dee Sharpe" <demetrioussharpe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "haiku-development@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <haiku-development@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [haiku-development] Re: What's the status of Haiku? > On Aug 24, 2014, at 4:46 AM, Sia Lang <silverlanguage@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Why not take advantage of that, and get usb3 and hardware accelerated > graphics while you're at it? BTW, there're far more impressive Unix hardware accelerated graphics stacks than what Linux is offering, so don't act as if this project would be receiving the Crown Jewels. I'm not ignorant of the Unix world. My background is Solaris & FreeBSD. I see this for what it really is -the Linux mindset that the Linux kernel should replace every other kernel on the planet because it's just that good. Well, it's ok, but it doesn't fit every case & you Linux guys need to get that through your heads. Until you show actual results, this is nothing more than an embrace & extend strategy -copied from Microsoft & implemented poorly. Apollo Demetrious Sharpe
