	CherryOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CherryOS was a PowerPC G4 processor emulator based on PearPC for x86 Microsoft Windows platforms, announced on October 12, 2004.
		CherryOS was re-released on 10 March 2005, with an easy-to-use graphical installation program — a feature that PearPC lacks.
		CherryOS was also alleged to have copied code from OpenVPN (using it as their network driver) and HFVExplorer (which was used as the "Drag 'n' Drop" interface).

	PearPC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CherryOS also created questions regarding the legality of commercial software developed and marketed specifically for the purpose of running Mac OS on the x86 architecture, since Apple's license agreement specifically states that the operating system may only be installed on Apple-'labeled' computers.
		Eventually, CherryOS died due to the very high amount of criticism that had been directed at it.
		CherryOS is alleged to be simply a front end for PearPC.

		CherryOS is the PowerPC emulator specifically geared for running Mac OS X on Windows machines, and detailing the claims regarding it by it's creator -- along with the CEO -- would take an entire chapter by itself.
		Just about everyone saw that CherryOS went "open source" the other day, but I didn't write about it because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, I'm working on something larger, and I was dealing with the ponce Brad Gibson over at MacObserver yet again.

		The $49.95 CherryOS was developed by Maui-X-Stream -- a small Hawaiian company that makes streaming media technologies -- and enables users to run Apple's Mac OS X operating system atop Windows PCs.
		CherryOS boots up in the exact same manner as PearPC, and its error messages and source files are nearly identical.
		Although PearPC source code is freely available, its usage is governed by the GNU General Public License (GPL), which states that the code and any modifications must be offered by anyone that distributes it.

		The computer operating system CherryOS, which was supposed to allow Windows-based computers to run Apple's Macintosh OS, has been pulled off the market.
		Much of the CherryOS programming code was cited as being identical to that in the free program PearPC, and its makers had threatened legal action against Maui X-Stream.
		Kryeziu announced on the CherryOS we site in early April that the operating system would be released as free open-source software on May 1 "due to overwhelming demand." However, "the software had too many issues," he said.

	CherryOS \| Applefritter

		We shall soon find out as it seems that CherryOS is going to be distributed in a few days and a fully functional demo a few days after that.
		The author has changed his story numerous times since the initial announcement of CherryOS; that he was the sole author, that he has a team suddenly; that the initial release in 'a few days' would be a finished 1.0 product, suddenly it's not finished.

	The pits in CherryOS
		CherryOS surfaced as a PowerPC emulator for x86-compatible systems, specifically geared, and sold, to allow Windows users to use Apple's Mac OS X. This is actually kinda cool.
		Six months before CherryOS was announced (not released) and started talking to the Mac press, another project, this one open source had created a PowerPC emulator for the x86 architecture: PearPC.
		Also CherryOS could claim that like PearPC they are simply an emulator of the PowerPC architecture, and that it is not them that are running MacOSX on the emulator but their end users.

		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.

		Okay, time for an update to the continuing sage of CherryOS, the emulator which claims to allow PC users to run OS X with 80% efficiency.
		In order to accommodate those who were inconvenienced by the interruption of immediate access to the CherryOS download, and to further validate this breakthrough product, MXS will provide a free trial download of the CherryOS software, in addition to the purchase download on November 25, 2004.
		But as you may recall, several programmers for PearPC, an Open Source project attempting to reach the same goal, have openly stated that CherryOS is using their code.

		Arben Kryeziu, CherryOS inventor and a software developer, got tired of carrying both a Mac and a PC around with him, so he invented CherryOS.
		CherryOS will allow you to emulate a G4 computer on a PC. PearPC was the first emulator to allow the AltiVec/G4 support.
		With CherryOS you have complete access to network resources like the internet. The Apple VM will be assigned its own IP address. So you are free to browse the Internet, send/receive email and use instant messaging.

		As reported by BetaNews, CherryOS boots up in the exact same manner as PearPC, and its error messages and source files are nearly identical.
		Despite the similarities, Maui-X-Stream staunchly defended CherryOS as original and last month, Kryeziu promised he would launch CherryOS as an open source project on May 1.

		CherryOS does not violate the GPL as long as the source is available.
		Tsilou has it right -- CherryOS is completely unusable for normal activity, but if you have a couple of hours to kill for bootup and another hour to kill opening a web browser and checking that your HTML code works in Safari, then by all means spend $50 on a hijacked program.

	[release] CherryOS - Aqua-Soft Forums
		This is a very illegal violoation of PearPC's GPL license because CherryOS is neither crediting PearPC nor "giving back" to PearPC the code that they may have changed or added.
		Since CherryOS is a rip of PearPC, it will NOT deliver on the 80% performance promised, and in fact, it even lacks some of the features that newer builds of PearPC have (native CD-ROM on Windows, sound, etc).
		CherryOS is released after PearPC, which happens to be open source.

	CherryOS and Friends Deconstructed.
		CherryOS is (was) a PowerPC emulator for x86 systems.
		Since PearPC is distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL), any derivative works must be also released under the GPL along with the modifications to the source code.
		In the case of CherryOS, MXS could easily have contributed to the PearPC project, and sold a re-branded PearPC along with support contracts.

	Honolulu Star-Bulletin Hawaii News
		If it works as billed, CherryOS would represent the holy grail for many Mac users who love the software system but want the option of using it on cheaper non-Apple hardware, something that Apple thwarts via compatibility limitations and restrictive end-user license agreements.
		Kryeziu said CherryOS still had plenty of "bugs" to be fixed, but attributed any similarities between the programs to the fact that they were designed to perform similar functions.
		But CherryOS would be guilty of a cardinal sin in the open-source community, which altruistically makes software code freely accessible online so that it can be improved by others.

		"CherryOS is not only a hoax, Leander Kahney was used as the medium to get the story to Wired.com, and subsequently Slashdot, so a small company named VX30 in Hawaii could stress test a Java based streaming media application they developed.
		The CherryOS application turned out to be a rip-off of an open source GPL project called PearPC.
		What started out as humor from Slashdot may turn into lawsuit from FSF against CherryOS (if the product is ever released).

	CherryOS is proven as a ripoff of PearPC!!
		Most of us in the Mac community have had some inkling that CherryOS was a rip from the open-source PearPC, but DrunkenBlog has run it down.
		One of the lead developers of PearPC died recently, and now the CherryOS people don't even think its necessary to acknowledge their work on the project.
		Wasnt cherryOS the same people who tried to pass off some other emulator or some windows on a mac thing that they claim that its open source and yet they stole some files from the WinNT os?

		In what is turning into a niche drama over niche OS emulation, the creators of PearPC are contemplating legal action against Maui X-Stream (actual name), creators of CherryOS.
		CherryOS offers similiar functionality and recently went on sale as a commercial product.
		I don't think anyone with critical thinking skills above the level of a toaster wouldn't conclude that it's obvious that CherryOS is PearPC with some wrapper code to allow it to run in a way that it's less obvious that it's PearPC, along with piles of code from other open source projects.
