I've heard about Haiku various places but never bothered to read up at all. What's the Sci-Fi writer who is BeOS fanboy? Is it Neal Stephenson?

I can't seem to find where to download Haiku, I guess haiku-os.org is their official site?

I did find a review of yellowTab's Zeta 1.0 which sounds interesting but there's no way in hell I'm paying $130 for it without a compelling reason.
