MSXINC HAS introduced an emulator called Cherry OS which it claims allows you to run Mac OS X on a Windows XP operating systems.

The $50 package comes with an installer which allows both CherryOS and OS X to be installed - and allows the use of a number of Mac applications including Safari and Apple Mail.

The system requires a Pentium 4 1.6GHz CPU or equivalent, 512MB of memory, and 3GB of hard drive space, but doesn't come with OS X, which can be downloaded separately from the Apple site.

As well as the $50 price tag for the product, the firm is also offering a free download to evaluate the product.

The software allows network access, Altivec G4 emulation, and supports sound, and CD-DVD drive access.

There is a freeware piece of software that does a similar thing. Pear PC. More information here, which notes that Cherry OS is available now. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
