"The pits in CherryOS"

http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/000501.html

-Updated 2005.03.15

"There's been a lot of buzz about Cherry OS lately -- since they started actually selling their product -- but there are some real pits in Cherry OS, and the people behind it (MXS), that aren't getting enough attention.

This isn't about nitpicking marketing claims, we're going to be breaking down some really uncool stuff involving taking GPL-based code from PearPC (among other projects) and completely false performance claims being used to get people to hand over their cash."...

Also, Daniel Foesch, PearPC AltiVec developer, has updated his code to thoroughly trounce any speed claim made by CherryOS :yes:.

Daniel also interviewed CherryOS "programmer" Arben Kryeziu by phone (prepare to amazed at how blatant this company is) :angry: :

The best thing you can do mate is stop using your stolen software and donate to the legal fund to help fight this guy and to stop him from stealing other people's hard work in the future.

I still can't get the FSB higher than 59 mhz.

Plus since Stefan died, it seems 1st party PearPC development has ceased for good.

Don't use CherryOS. Use PearPC. If you buy it, you just waste your hard-earned money. :cry:

visit this site: http://prasys.skidsoftware.com He just upload a new version of pearpc and it is easy to configure.

[eXsub]

Can anyone confirm if OSX Tiger 10.4 works?

[Windam]

I don't want to be a bother but when i try to download the Darwin installation iso, the page I'm trying to download from keeps asking me for my apple id and password which I type in every time and just repeats the same login page. I'm using XP SP2 and I even used a download manager but it still won't work

please help!

[eXsub]

EDIT:

[eXsub]

oh and, few more questions:

should i get the CD's for tiger ( 10.4 ) instead of using 10.3 will it be faster?

is sound support (ive heard about recently ) any good?

how do i get a transparency effect like this?

http://www.pearpc.net/images/screenshots/1114703542.jpg

why do Apple make panther/tiger etc?? i dont understand it

can i upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4?

i heard you can run pearpc on linux, is it faster on linux?

You've been punked by one of the odest tricks in the book. It's just matching backgrounds - that's it. If you want the translucent title-bar, then you'll have to wait till Longhorn is released.

[AndurilShards]

but you can get transparent title barswith a prog

guessing it's windowsfx or something or something else

it's been a while since I customized my comp

style xp might do this also

once again I don't remember

Q1. 10.3 and 10.4 should run at the same speed.

Q2. Sound support is crap.

Q3. We already answered.

Q4. What are you asking ?? Tiger > Panther > Jaguar etc etc. Get it ??

Q5. It runs almost at the same speed in Linux.
