As of Late, the Haiku project has been making some major steps forward, most notably the ability to 'self host', one of the most important milestones for the upcoming alpha release. In addition to development progress, Haiku is also making a name or itself in the Free software world in general, by attending conferences, for instance. Last weekend, Haiku was present at the LugRadio Live USA 2008 event, held in San Fransisco.

I've tried using the images Haiku provides in both VMWare and in VirtualBox and was unable to get them to work in either one. I'm sure I can't be the only one with this issue. Bottom line, Haiku needs a real release--an ISO image that can be burned to a disk and booted up on real hardware so people can actually see this progress for themselves.
This isn't because I'm new to emulation either--I've used console emulators for years (anyone remember Kgen the DOS Sega Genesis emulator?) as well as virtual machines like BOCHS, Connetix VirtualPC and Basilisk II, vMac, etc... I just can't seem to get these images to work though.
I know the biggest reason given for not making bootable images available is due to Haiku's inheritance of the way BeOS cd images are made--and I know those can be a pain but if I (and all those others) could figure out BeOS MaXPE, surely we could figure it out for Haiku! Just give us a chance!
