Awesome. But, I suggest Haiku people need hire ui/ux for their default theme/window. It will sure attract more user to try this OS as alternative.

This is pretty sbujective but I really dig the pixel art of the icons and the general look & feel of the windows. If Haiku was a Linux Window Manager, I would use it in a heartbeat.

I would really like the tabbing windows etc on linux, it would make using a single monitor much nicer...

There are window managers like that for linux. E.g. http://notion.sourceforge.net/ or https://github.com/pekdon/pekwm or http://www.fluxbox.org/

Haiku is a single-user system, so effectively any privilege escalation gets you root. That's enough right there for me to keep it off a server.

Isn’t the definition of privilege escalation going from non-root to root or did you mean that any RCE on an application gets you root. Nit picking comment aside, I wonder if the fact that it is single-user was one of the reasons Apple did not go with it.

On a multi-user system, you could have one non-root user gain privileges granted to another non-root user, which I think would still be considered a privilege escalation; e.g. before the escalation, I only have access to my own home directory, but afterwards, I have access to both my own and yours.
