0 Nocstar Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I need to give pearpc a try! Whats easier to setup though? What are all these mac users doing here... All i see them doing is getting jealous because we didn't have to buy an overpriced machine to play with osx.

0 amr_01 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 well, cherryOS is easier because it's gui based. but give pearpc a try, and check here for help getting it setup. it's not really hard to do.

0 g-n-t Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Yeah MSFT does not require you to register to be part of their shared source program right? Oh wait, it's only available for large scale installation customers (read expensive license agreements). You're the troll here I'm afraid and I cannot fathom why this thread is still here in the mac section.What does registering for "free" access have to do with greed again? 585590010[/snapback] microsoft has a shared source program? :p im not a big of of ms either. im not trolling, and i too dont understand why this is in the mac section. why should you register for access? sourceforge doesnt require registration and neither does any other site ive seen, why should apple? anyway, back on subject... naru, youre not missing much, trust me. this thing is crap. honestly, i had less trouble installing panther on pearpc .1 than with this pile of crap. and after i installed it in pear pc, i deleted it a few minutes later. its pretty pointless TBH.

0 icecream Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 @ people with that error: read the thread. you have to go to the compatibility tab of the properties of the exe file and choose windows 2000. that worked for me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294414-cherry-os-trial-available/page/13/#findComment-585590612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GCNaddict Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 that's a stupid thing to say and you are a stupid person for saying it. i tried cherryos on 3 computers. all with the same result. 1 of them i even formatted to see if it would work.know your facts before posting stupid replies. 585590399[/snapback] thats a fat lie. it works flawlessly on a clean system (as everyone else has stated here so far) (edit: works means that it actually starts. i didnt say that it was successful booting panther, or that it was fast while running it) what you are claiming is that the software wont even start on your three computers. the little sidenote about you formatting one of them is a more obvious lie, or the formatted computer just doesnt have what it takes. who formats a computer just to try out cherryOS? it mustve been one which you didnt care about, which means that its specs are lower than the requirements (which means that it likely wont work because of that) anyways, im sure that out of the 20-some-odd-thousand people who tried it out, maybe a handful got the same error you did. maybe. and to end on a stern note: your comment was repulsive, unnecessary, and downright rude.

0 Stingray Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Alright, sure I'm trolling, because everybody knows that stating factual pieces of information is trolling. :rolleyes: The trolling: Other than because it's buggy and it sucks? 585589439[/snapback] The "information": More that we realize that, one, CherryOS is a bad emulator and, two, that installing OS X in CherryOS or PearPC violates Apple's EULA. Technically, Apple can sue you. 585589658[/snapback] Mac OS X 10.4 for x86? In your dreams, maybe.Stingray, I'm sorry you have such a hatred for Apple. An EULA is an EULA. Microsoft has one for Windows. Apple has one for OS X. Apple restricts the running of OS X to Apple-branded computers only in their EULA. This is because they are a hardware company. Apple could shut down CherryOS for actually advertising and promoting the use of OS X in emulation inside it. 585589729[/snapback] Alright, you DO seem like a yuppie lawyer from Apple talking when you?re not trolling... which makes you basically... a TROLL in a SUIT!

0 Elliott Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 So because I used the word "sucks" automatically makes that first post a trolling post? Again, those two statements were factual. They were just bluntly stated. Now, if that were FUD, then I would be trolling. And still, I don't understand how letting people know the possible consequences of what they're doing is trolling. You could call me an Apple lawyer, or you could call me a judge. Both would say the same thing to you.

0 macman87 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I don't get what's so exciting about Cherry OS. :huh: It costs $50 and you still have to go out and buy Mac OS X for $129. Thats $179. Nearly 2/5 of your way to a Mac mini which can actually do something and its completely legal. ;) Oh wait a minute, people using Cherry OS will be likely to download Panther and don't pay for it, and while they are at it, they might even try to steal Cherry OS as well. So I don't see how this is going to be a viable business for the guy who 'created' this program.

0 Axel Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 okay I bit the bullet and I'm installing - but I've come across this and it's just stuck with the small circle thing rotating ... it started off having the apple logo but now it's got the circle with a cross through it. Should I just leave it for ages and see what happens?
