With many recent stability fixes and other improvements by Michael Lotz (mmlr) as well as others - he was able to finally nail down a couple last minor tweaks that allowed him to checkout the Haiku source from the SVN repository, compile a raw Haiku image, and test it in QEMU entirely from his Haiku install. This is the first time ever that Haiku has reportedly 'self-hosted', an unofficial important requirement for an alpha release. Please note that there are a few technicalities to be ironed out before the process can be easily reproduced by all. Update: Please note that Haiku won't be taking over the world just yet.

Interesting, but a useless metric, since the vast majority don't own a Mac to actually put Leopard onto. So, that would make OS X 599 (price of the cheapest Mac in the US). It's worse in Europe; a new Mac Mini here is 599 EUR. Yes, that's 874 USD.
So yes, OS X might be cheap for the few people who actually own one (although in the US that number is a lot higher than in Europe) - but it's not for everyone else. Please keep that in mind.
But yes, Vista is overpriced. No doubt.
