Running Mac OS X on Windows: Pears and Cherries

Posted by Daniel Stout on Thu 10 Mar 2005 at 6:37 AM

For years, Mac users have been able to run Microsoft Windows on their machines thanks to a product called VirtualPC. Once made by a company called Connectix, it is now owned by Sir Bill. But why not run Mac OS X on a Windows machine?

Thanks to an open source project called PearPC that may now be possible. To add a little intrigue, a company called Maui X-Stream has produced a “rip-off” of PearPC called CherryOS that they’re selling for $50 a pop, according to Wired News.

A G4 emulator for Windows is of course an awesome idea. The web designer in me sees a real boon for Windows-based designers who want to test their creations on Mac browsers. In other news, Linus Torvalds uses a Mac.
