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.

You do know that you can create a LiveCD of Haiku yourself right?
For me, on my internet connection using *buntu, it takes maybe an hour to setup a Haiku build environment that is capable of creating an image - then you can create the first track for the CD (an ISO with a compressed boot floppy/El Torito) with a separate jam rule that was added to the build system in the recent months.
Caution: It's *really* slow booting to a LiveCD - and there are several applications that don't behave well in a readonly filesystem yet.
Now, will you be able to install from this CD yet? Probably not - unless you've already created and formatted a partition on your disk as BFS with another method.
Edit: Also, I haven't seen you posting in the Haiku forums or IRC channel about your virtual machine issues - many people seem to have no problems getting Haiku running in VMWare, QEMU, or even Parallels (ok, that one seems to cause problems). kQEMU and Virtual Box can cause problems currently - unless you change the virtualization settings (i forget what the mode is called). - See here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/56
