The saga of CherryOS continues
•Blogs •Apple •Comments •Tell-a-Friend
Okay, time for an update to the continuing sage of CherryOS, the emulator which claims to allow PC users to run OS X with 80% efficiency. The CherryOS website is back up, with the following announcement:
CherryOS Trial and Purchase Download Available November 25, 2004
We at Maui X-Stream (MXS) wish to communicate the current and future status of CherryOS.
On Tuesday, October 12, MXS — a software development company that specializes in video streaming, custom applications and web development — announced the immediate availability of CherryOS software. The announcement signaled a breakthrough in emulation development by providing a software emulator which allows Windows PC users to run Apple’s OS on x86 computer architecture, while preserving network capabilities and access to the host computer’s hardware resources.
As a direct result of the overwhelming response to our October 12 announcement, and in order to provide current and future customers with the timely service and attention such high-volume demand requires, MXS has chosen to extend the beta development for CherryOS. In order to accommodate those who were inconvenienced by the interruption of immediate access to the CherryOS download, and to further validate this breakthrough product, MXS will provide a free trial download of the CherryOS software, in addition to the purchase download on November 25, 2004.
Pending orders are being held, but not processed at this time.
But as you may recall, several programmers for PearPC, an Open Source project attempting to reach the same goal, have openly stated that CherryOS is using their code.
Maui X-Stream initially denied that there was any PearPC code in their product. But now, according to an article in Wired, that was... well, read for yourself:
(Cherry OS author Arben) Kryeziu said the inclusion of PearPC code was the fault of one of his programmers, who is no longer with the company.
"I fired his ass," Kryeziu said.
"He did something wrong, he did two things wrong, one really bad," Kryeziu said, but declined to elaborate. "He put some strange stuff in there, and yeah, you guys identified it as PearPC."
But now they claim that there is no more PearPC code in the project, and vow to be vindicated when the product is released next month. Read on... •Blogs •Apple •Comments •Tell-a-Friend
