Why do I have a "funny feeling" related to the Google Chrome noise, and
now Haiku,
that there are very shortly going to be a number of OSes that may
effectively undermine
the 90% Windows - 10% Macintosh dominance.
I am not psychic, but I can always tell when rain is coming by the smell
in the air . . .
Of course any RAD that also "feels the seaweed" and is ready for the
next paradigm
shift will have a huge competitive edge.

Richmond,
Look at the about box for that system and look into past mantainers...
you'll see, me! :D
Look up 'Ubiquitous' in your dictionary . . . :)
I created the network preferences for Haiku during the Google Summer of
Code. Ok Ok, it is a very basic network preference pane but it is mine and
it was done in C++
As for Rev running under haiku, we'll thats my dream, if I could somehow
fund this I would (tried the national lottery but did not win). Haiku is too
small a market right now for them to target. Haiku has a potential to become
the de facto free desktop operating system, it is way more pleasant than
linux, right now, all that is missing is better hardware support and more
applications. The rest is already there, the foundations are very solid.
Keep an eye on Haiku, it will make lots of noise.
But for Rev to run under haiku it would require a new implementation of all
the graphics layer since haiku is not linux and does not use X11, GTK and
friends. If Rev reaches the modularity stage where it someone can simply
port some simple files and have it running on other system, we can then,
make a pot of money and try to buy a custom engine.
"Pots of money" to you too!
:D
Actually RunRev should be completely OS agnostic; and that includes well
established niche OSes such as RISC OS. Even if development can only take
place on a certain limited number of OSes deployment should be universal.

Will RunRev be able, in the future, to produce standalones for this
Be OS clone?
Will there be a revWeb plug-in for Haiku so that revlets can be accessed
in Haiku-based web-browsers?
I wonder what the uptake on this OS will be: I'm just going to have a go
running it in Qemu and VPC.
Not successful at all; will burn a disk and run it live in my "piece of
junk".
