It's taken years to get to near-Alpha, but it would have taken years longer if all of the focus and effort hadn't stayed as keenly concentrated as it has. I could be wrong about this, but it strikes me that one goal, when it's a goal as big as the Haiku desktop, is plenty. If Haiku ever reaches critical mass, and the programmers start "piling on," then it *might* make more sense to consider non-desktop possibilites, but even then, if there were indeed lots more programmers joining in, wouldn't it make the most sense to use that added muscle to continue to streamline and improve the Haiku desktop experience, develop drivers, etc?
