The web site doesn't even say what platform it's for...

Really? If it isn't mentioned, perhaps it's Java, or Python, or something else that's cross-platform.

Looks pretty, but 19 Euro seems a little steep for a 9x9 program. I usually buy commercial Go software, just to support the development, and at 10 Euro this would have been a purchase. Maybe it'll come down in price or extend its scope in the future. :) But yes, the artwork for the stones is really neat!

I ended up buying a copy a few weeks ago, since I quite like 9x9 and computers make good sparing partners on this board size. :) They released a new update today that addresses some of the issues (and as a result is more customizable and stronger):

Code:
    * settings (for last komi, levels, board view) are automatically saved
    * pass behaviour is much more natural
    * clocks for the players
    * new levels with time per game
    * thinking on opponents time (pondering)
    * better multithreading (=faster) especially under Windows XP
    * better support of older Window versions
    * detailed help
    * much more convenient saving and loading of games
    * stronger highlighting of the engines thinking process
    * new menu for choice of language
    * several minor bugfixes -> running much more stable
