[PyX]

Well after trying CherryOS for more than 2 hours, I realized how much bug it had and how slow it was.

THat is not what I'd call 80% and I have a really decent computer, aka Athlon XP 3000+, 200 GB HD, 512 MB RAM (okay, that's my pc's weakness, BUT STILL, I find 512 MB of ram great for today's uses), ATI Radeon 9800 pro.

It runs equally as fast or slower than PearPC and sometimes I cannot even start Mac OS X, it says "Error in Profile". No sound support, I don't know how to search in my computer from Mac OS X, etc etc.

Basically... they have MUCH work to do to first get rid of the open-source projects' source codes, to get rid of the bugs and to make it faster.

I don't think we'll see a good CHerryOS before next year, so PearPC is still in the game and it's now or never that they should continue their development. :yes:

Competition is always welcomed (even if CherryOS is PearPC... as long as CherryOS will exist, competition will be there)

No, if Apple sues, it's because CherryOS is in breach of OSX's EULA, which specifically states that OSX can only legally be run on Apple hardware (or at least that's what I've been told...sue me if I'm wrong).  CherryOS is like the Napster of the emulation world.

mmm I guess the one who would break OSX's EULA would be the users who installs OSX on a PC, not CherryOS itself. Anyway... P2P apps. are always faulty when their users trade copyrighted things with them... so, yeah, you're right :p

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?

Why not talk about "bugs, product updates, specs, speeds, etc," about PearPC? Why talk about a program by a company that totally ripped off an open source project and then charge 50 bucks for it? That is just beyond me. Or did you actually go and buy CherryOS?

Boycott MXS.

I run into the same problem. I just gave up after trying it for about 10 times.

[Deciever]

o0.....I think some of you people need to watch a movie called "Anti-Trust"....

Also if I was PearPC since they have been able to prove he stole their code, I would simply see if and what code improvements they have made to it and simply incorporate it into theirs, after all it is THEIR project and ANY modification to THEIR program belongs to them under their GPL I am sure.

Second what kind of court could CherryOS bring PearPC to?

CherryOS: Umm judge they stole our code!

PearPC: We can prove they stole the code from us and our GPL protects us from people like CherryOS

CherryOS: $h!7

pearPC all the way; old picture I tried Running OS X.2 & X.3

bugs-same as pearpc with a few more they threw in

product updates-depends on when the next stable version of pearpc comes out

speed-same as pearpc

I want to ask exactly the same, I got MacOS 10.4 DVD, and the image, I tried to install but It wont let me. In the FAQ it says it only supports 10.0 - 10.3

I hope they release a new version soon with support for 10.4, I really want to try the MacOS to see what is all about. :)

"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: :

MMmm.. Just got MacOS CD's and installing OS :D

imo, for n00bs, maybe, CherryOS is better.

Can't find any bugs right now. Using it only ~20 mins ;)

here is the screenny ;)
