angry tapir writes "BeOS may be dead, but over a decade after its lamentable demise the open source Haiku project keeps its legacy alive. Haiku is an attempt to build a drop-in, binary compatible replacement for BeOS, as well as extending the defunct OS's functionality and support for modern hardware. At least, that's the short-term goal &mdash; eventually, Haiku is intended significantly enhance BeOS while maintaining the same philosophy of simplicity and transparency, and without being weighed down with the legacy code of many other contemporary operating systems. I recently caught up with Stephan Aßmus, who has been a key contributor to the project for seven years to talk about BeOS, the current state of Haiku and the project's future plans."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=How+Haiku+Is+Building+a+Better+BeOS%3A +http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FRjz9dK)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F12%2F08%2F07%2F1315234%2Fhow-haiku-is-building-a-better-beos%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/08/07/1315234/how-haiku-is-building-a-better-beos?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
