Haiku OS Ported To Intel 64-Bit Architecture 101

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday August 28, 2012 @11:10PM from the five-and-seven-syllables-at-a-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The BeOS-compatible Haiku OS operating system has been ported to x86_64. As part of the Google Summer of Code, a student made a 64-bit port of the kernel and user-space and it's now working. However, not all of the BeOS apps and drivers are yet working in 64-bit mode."

Because 64 is less than 86, so 86 must be better, right?
