Thanks for posting that Jorge! Interesting article... It was a little bit painful to read some of the experiences, and I personally find this enlightening to heard what it's like for someone who doesn't really know what to expect - first impressions mean a lot ;) It's also refreshing to know that at least some of the pain Paul experienced is already being alleviated - for example the pre-alpha images already have Firefox installed, and there is the new Welcome documentation which should help users get going a little quicker. One thing that I gathered from this article is - while the experience was "refreshing" - it seems the author didn't necessarily take away anything "wow!" from the experience (or at least, nothing was really mentioned that stood out). I wonder, for example, if the reviewer had much chance to play with live queries and meta-data. What other types of things make Haiku stand out amongst other desktop-class OSes? Perhaps we should emphasize these in our welcome documentation :) - Urias
