I was on the BeOS team for many years. While we did many interesting things, and especially kernel and driver layers were more modern than the alternatives, Palm threw away those pieces. If I were to build (or fund) a new OS today, I'd drive the state if the art forward. Especially the GUI layer is too reliant on '80s style implementation inheritance, rather than fast, strict protocols and minimal abstraction costs.

Do you work on HaikuOS? If not, why not? I've been following the project since it's birth and it is amazing what have been created, but it seems there is a far way to go. I bet your knowledge would be valuable to the project.
