| CherryOS: Yet another Mac OS on PC emulator There's a new player in the "I wanna run Mac OS on my PC!" arena. They claim an 80% performance level. I'll believe it when I see it. http://www.cherryos.com/frontpage.aspx

| I read their site. Was full of typoes. _If_ they can achieve this and it _does_ run at 80% of the host's speed, I'll buy a 3 GHz machine soon to act as my Mac OS X Panther Server... 50 USD certainly isn't too much for such a software. However: Until any positive reviews are in, I think this is just a hoax. 80%? Too good to be true.

| FYI - I contacted these folks to request a copy to do a story on it. They said that a DEMO version would be available, along with the shopping cart in the next few days. Apparently, they underestimated Slashdot.org and are moving to new server space. I am with many of you, questionable at best that this really works. But, willing to give it a try and review it as soon as possible. |
