You have to use the nightly build to get HaikuDepot, it's not on the alpha release. And the nightly's web browser runs JS with a JIT and YouTube to boot.

We are, too. We get it: systemd sucks. So when we say "inspired", we meant it -- that it's inspired, not a direct clone of it.

I kind of regret letting the comment about systemd slip through my fingers now :( Haiku's new launch system is like systemd in that we took the *nice* parts of systemd. Not the crap that is the binary log files, or the take-over-your-whole-OS thing. We hate it as much as you do.

We aren't trying to be a "viable operating system" for the masses. Yet. That comes in R2, after we drop compatibility. If you want the latest not-really-greatest slidy transparent Operating System of the Future, we aren't it. We have much different goals (like: actually being usable! Actually being configurable!) Not the "systemd takes over the whole operating system" or "Ubuntu writes their own window manager" crap that Linux has to deal with. In that sense, we're lightyears ahead of Linux, the only forks we have are the POSIX fork() function. :D
