OpenBeos: New name Haiku

[BigBenAussie]

Wait a second.

HAIKU is merely the name of the company and the standard specifications that BEUNITED are currently issuing that will/may/should be applied to open source BEOS projects. Its not the new name of the OS, except maybe for the version that the HAIKU company are making.

It has no more relevance to the FOSS BEOS projects than KMOS might have on AROS if they were indeed speaking to eachother to create a compatable platform, which they aren't. Errr...maybe that doesn't make sense.

Hmmmm...I guess I was wrong because I thought it was just too stupid to be true.

Jeez....Its like renaming AROS to BoingOS or GuruOS or something else stupid. Actually, even they sound better.

IMHO Haiku poems are annoying and cryptic. If I am not mistaken I saw someone write that error messages in BEOS were sometimes written as Haiku. Great...rename the OS to a cryptic form of poetry.

Everyone is just putting on a fake grin and saying its ok, its ok, don't panic, this isn't that bad, this isn't that bad, its relevant, its relevant, I swear!!! The name still SUX though!!!!
Can you think of a worse name?
Even four letter words would be preferable.
Tell me its a codename only.....please...people can't be this inept. You can't tell me that there is a single person out there that would not have rathered it was named something else.

Oh well. What do I care.
