CherryOS Trial Version Rereleased
Topic: Software
A trial version of the CherryOS Mac emulator is once again available for download from the Maui X-Stream website.

The $50 Windows software purportedly emulates a G4 processor, allowing a Windows XP machine to run Mac OS X.

The CherryOS was a source of some controversy last year.

It's initial release last October was greeted with a mixture of excitement and skepticism, given the claims of its supposed developer, programmer Arben Kryeziu.

Kryeziu claimed to have written the complex application from scratch in just four months, and that it performed almost as fast as the host processor -- two pretty unlikely claims.

Then programmers discovered CherryOS contained unacknowledged code from a similar open source project, PearPC. Under the rules of PearPC's license, any borrowed code should be acknowledged.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

Can't get to the download.
Each time I try it just links to a registration page (despite registering once already and being sodding logged in)

Facts are meaningless.
You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

The ramblings of a person who suddenly realised he bit of more than he could chew.

True - until it's found out he 'borrowed' code. Unfortunately if he announces anything in the future, people will remember this episode and immediately denounce him.

Well, he did bring it on himself, so no real sympathy here.

To quickly sidetrack - will you be making your presence felt at this years Unofficial DBPro Sci-fi Convention ?
