As always, AnIdiotOnTheNet has valid comments, but you cannot dismiss a journey because its too far, you need to start with the first steps and eventually you'll get there.

1) re: graphical acceleration, it will come when the user base increases, the 3 big players will eventually want skin in the game

2) re: sandbox mechanism, yes it's missing, however since Haiku has a read only package system, the damage a rogue app can cause is much smaller eliminating the need for sandboxing in the first place. Also, the Haiku system is easy to restore, and from a user point of view, I care more about preserving my data, not protecting a system that I can easily restore. This is also a fault of most OS's out there, they protect you from installing a driver, and do nothing for protecting your family photos.

1) re: posix, Haiku has similiar issues as the BSD's in that POSIX != Linux

2) it's coming in R2

3) see original 1

Regarding your reply for 2: I completely agree, however the immutable packages do nothing to protect my personal files. Any modern Desktop OS should recognize the need to distrust applications by default.

That said, Haiku isn't really any worse in this regard than currently existing desktop OS.s
