So..... Why would Jane the User pick Haiku OS over, say, Ubuntu?

  Because she really wants something fringe and not really Unix. I'd be surprised if there was any user or developer that didn't do Haiku as a hobby. I've never heard of a single person making money from it.

      I think that's really impressive. An expensive piece of software shipping an operating system to go along with it. And they have a video showing worldwide installations, demonstrating that it is a successful product. Well done!

  Because if Jane the User tries to read the source code, the Linux versions are a real mess compared to what Haiku source reads like.
