Haiku: A Perfect Desktop Operating System?
Today there are many operating systems available. Every vendor or community round it tries to make it as good as possible. Having different goals, different legacy and different cultures, they succeed in it more or less. We (end users) end up with big selection of operating systems, but for us the operating systems are usually compromise of the features that we would like to have. So is there an operating system that would fit all the needs of the end user? Is is the BeOS clone Haiku?
As you might have guessed, I will present my point of view on the topic of perfect operating system. I will limit myself to desktop operating system as requirements of desktop operating system are in some aspect totally different than those of other types of operating systems.
First I will name few criteria for evaluating operating system. Then I will look, which operating system that is currently available fulfills the criteria best. At the end I will try to merge the operating system, and define the prefect one.
