In pearPC even in the cursors you could see that is was lagging or in the status bars as well .. it took several hours to install OSX with it .. with this one I was already into the install rather quickly and the cursor animations were very smooth, although when I would click on the title bar you could see it was slightly laggy, and also if you move your mouse really really quickly you can see it lags slightly .. A hell of a lot better than my experience than PearPC so far.

I'm gonna see if I can get my PearPC image to work on this .. then maybe I won't have to reinstall OSX ..I'll post some screenies if it works

Just running the installer now, I'm pretty sure I can do this legitimately since I have three licenses for Panther, yet only one Mac currently.

I just noticed you can't change the install path. How annoying.

And jesus, this interface is hideous. The icons are far too small for the toolbar, and the images used on the dialogs look like Microsoft Clipart. Not to mention that the green gradient isn't wide enough to cover my 1600x1200 resolution.

I'll take a series of screenshots from install to first usage, and post them later. Right now its taking rather a long time to get past the bootscreen, and find my Panther disc.

EDIT: It doesn''t seem to like DVD discs of Panther, so it seems I'm going to have to resort to installing Jaguar first, then using my upgrade discs. Le sigh.

What CherryOS is not (Disclaimer)

CherryOS will not turn your PC into an Apple computer. Apple computers are some of the fastest com-puters on the market today, and many of the applications designed for Macs require a robust hardware architecture. A software emulator can never recreate the performance of the native Apple hardware. If you are thinking of using Apple video editing software on your PC, CherryOS is not your solution.

What CherryOS is:

CherryOS is the easiest to install PowerPC G4 emulator available. The G4 emulation is fast enough for you to be able to install Apple?s OS X software onto your Windows PC. While your PC will never function as fast as an Apple computer, you will be able to do many of the day-to-day functions such as browse the Internet and receive e-mail.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
