Cherry OS Claims Mac OS X Capability For x86

jediboytj writes "According to the MacWorld Article, Cherry OS, does what Virtual PC does for Macs, only the opposite. PC Users are now able to run Mac OSX at G4 Speeds (Company claims 80% of the speed of your PC). It also includes full hardware support: hard drive, CPU, RAM, FireWire, USB, PCI, PCMCIA bus, Ethernet networking and modem. The software is being distributed through electronic download at $49.99 USD..." Note: it does not come with a copy of any Apple OS. Anyone in Windowsland tried it to provide a thumbs up (or down)?

We do have that stability in Windows XP. I had a 3 year old XP install on my main box. I normally get multi month uptime on my laptop. Only time Im rebooting is for driver upgrades.

You're not depriving the copyright holder from money if you had no intent to purchase the item in the first place. There are plenty of movies I would watch for free but would never consider worth paying money to own. Therefore, if I were to download a copy of such a movie without paying for it, I'm not stealing anything. It is illegal, yes. But it's copyright infringement, NOT stealing. There is no money gain or loss on my part or the publisher's part. The same logic follows for anything that can be duplicated in a similar manner.
