My point was that (in my experience as a embedded engineer for high availability systems) NewOS has much smaller windows between kernel preemption points, particularly in comparison to Linux (even RT) and NT.
Is Haiku only soft real time? Yes, and I never said anything different.
Does it do a markedly better job at making real time commitments than NT or even RT-Linux? Absolutely mainly due to how much simpler of a kernel it is.
Also, I'm going to throw out there that if you're going to get uppity about hard real time guarantees out of nowhere and throwing out concepts lime manslaughtee charges out of nowhere, I hope that you're only choosing sel4 as last time I checked it was the only kernel that backed up it's guarantees in a way that it can be checked.
