CherryOS I have to admit sucks as a program. It crashes when its trying to created Drive images, saying 'warning, this program may hang for 5 to 10 minutes while the disk is formatted' .... yeah, great programming there. 15 minutes later and my hard drive stops spinning about 4 minutes ago? Still no program responce. *blam* End Task'ed.

Next, it claims in the features that it supports sound, unlike PearPC. Check the hard to find release notes. 'There are currently issues with sound on most configurations'. ... See, 'we haven't finished coding it yet, but give us money anyway for something to emulate a PC to run an operating system that's primary use is multimedia.

PearPC at least admitted its foilbles, with the help of various frontends was easy to configure and didn't crash all the bloody time before the O/S had even started either!

holy CRAD!!!....DID YOU READ THE FRONT PAGE?!?!?......From the "creator" of Cherry OS. He said, that Cherry OS is based on a complet different code and archtecture and that is why they can achieve such stability and "speed".

MY A$$....there was no stability and speed and it was an almost 100% copy of PearPC....this guy is ****ing me off and who ever pays for this deserve to be slapped...

Yes its slow, yes it's unbearable, yes it's not a mac. But it's a view into the mac os world, wich I really need as an administrator and as a nerd. You can't excuse that they've taken the code from ppc, and expect to payed for it. I'm an open source fan, actively in the EU. But it has one advantage to ppc, ICS, which means that you don't have to hassle with your nic, or buy a new one.

I had a realtec nic rtl8139, but it didn't seem to work out with ppc, so my solution was cherryOS, with ICS.

But to newbees, open source fans, I would highly recommend PPc control panel

It works very good with ppc Pear ppc

Its much easier this way.

Slow old computer xp1600, 512, 2100, i know

I've enjoyed this thread, since it made me smarter, thanks to all of you.

Actually if you want PearPC on par with CherryOS in the ICS networking department get openVPN beta 2.0 from sourceforge http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvpn...ta2-install.exe

It works like CherryOS's extra NIC that gets installed. Instructions on how to use openVPN beta 2.0 with PearPC are found on http://dev.realistanew.com/win32net/

I could really care less if it is a rip of PearPC. If its better and it works, then why does it matter?

Can someone please clarify if it is actually faster than PearPC? Or are people recieving mixed results?

585599265[/snapback]

well how would u feel if you spent 5 yrs developing innovative software and then some jackass comes and copies your code and tries to sell it?

They are the same speed.

*edit

maybe not 5 yrs...but u get the pnt.

we should make it against the rules to even discuss this piece of crap on neowin. and put at a message on teh front page saying that it violates copyright laws. noone should be paying these ******s anything.

What copyright laws? You do realize that the whole reason for open source is to not have copyright laws right?

Most open source software relies on copyright. The majority of open source software is not public domain and is copyrighted. What they do have is far more lenient distribution terms and end-user use terms.

no, this is different. its not opensource, its theft.

585600422[/snapback]

I wouldn't call it theft, personally, I'd call it plagiarism, and a possible violation of their license terms. They didn't remove anything, but duplicated somebody else's work and took credit for it. If the allegations against CherryOS are correct, that is. :ninja:

Ok, we have established that many of you think CherryOS is a copy of PearPC under a different interface. Now, can we please get into something else? Like talking about bugs, product updates, specs, speeds, etc, about CherryOS?

I for one, need help. When using CherryOS, I got to the point in the OS X installation where you are asked to select a usable volume to install it too, but am not shown any places to install it (its blank). Why?

    • 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.

      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.
