I can't find the words "friendly desktop operating system" in the
Haiku, Inc. certificate of incorporation:

Haiku, Inc. purpose is intentionally worded in generic terms to let the
Haiku Project (through developpers discussions and votes on this very
list) decide where the project should go. So I don't know where you got
that "friendly desktop operating system" from?

We have seen maybe a dozen users raise concerns, some of them not even
strictly adverse to the plan, just questionning it. I think this is not
a large portion.
