In possibly the least surprising piece of news to come out of the software world for quite some time, the "developers" of the CherryOS emulator have given up. The system claimed to emulate Mac OS X on a PC - but those who investigated it found it was simply a loader and mild repackaging of the open-source PearPC project.
CherryOS" website has disappeared, and there"s no mention of the project on the site of Maui X-Stream, the Hawaii-based company behind it. They had previously claimed it was going to go open source, having initially been launched as s $50 paid-for product.
According to Engadget, co-founder Arben Kryeziu said it simply "was not ready" for release. However, it looks like possibly the saddest chapter in Mac emulation on the PC is now over - now perhaps the PearPC team can concentrate on getting the emulator to run faster instead of having time taken up by the CherryOS saga.
