Haiku is an open source operating system that is compatible with BeOS. Development of Haiku began in 2001 as the OpenBeOS project after BeOS development was discontinued. The first alpha version was released in 2009. Haiku aims to recreate the user interface and functionality of BeOS while adding new features. It uses a modular design allowing components to be developed independently. Haiku targets personal computing and focuses on usability, innovation, and speed like BeOS. The latest release candidate shows promise but still has some bugs and lacks applications.
