Cherry OS Claims Mac OS X Capability For x86

Posted by timothy on from the funny-it-requires-windows dept.

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)?

    You would also have to buy OS X itself. It doesn't come bundled...(There is a torrent though...)

    This point has been debated over and over, so I'll mention the $799 eMacs (educ discount) and $949 ibooks (also discount) and $1199 iMacs and move on.

    I love that. No, I hate that. University years are a dim memory by now for me and I didn't choose scientific career. So, sorry, but educational discount doesn't apply to me. Interesting to how many of /. readers it does apply, but please don't use special discounts for limited customer groups as a basis for any comparisons.
