Here's a nice review of Haiku from a Unix hacker:
Haiku: A New Kind of Operating System

The guy is quite enthusiastic over what he sees.

Another good review:

WOW... just tried #haiku  OS using virtualbox .. i totally forgot that it is running under a vm with 2 cores and 2gb ram .. its butter smooth and quick . the gui is just about perfect without all those stupid bloats that other OS provide as a means to attract dumb people.
music, videos , pdf .. works out of of the box . need to test more though ..
i wish there was a way to install linux apps in haiku :D (wishing is not a crime)
trust me .. for once i thought about forgetting linux and jumping into the haiku boat :D ..
