'''CherryOS''' was a [[PowerPC G4]] processor [[emulator]] for [[x86]] [[Microsoft Windows]] platforms, which allowed various [[Apple Inc.]] programs to be operated on [[Windows XP]]. Announced and made available for pre-orders on October 12, 2004, it was developed by Maui X-Stream (MXS),<ref name="cososweetensmac"/>  a [[startup company]] based in [[Lahaina, Hawaii]]<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/> and a subsidiary of Paradise Television.<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/> The program encountered a number of launch difficulties its first year, including a poorly-reviewed [[soft launch]] in October 2004, wherein ''[[Wired Magazine]]'' argued that CherryOS used code grafted directly from [[PearPC]], an older [[open-source software|open-source]] emulator. Lead developer Arben Kryeziu subsequently stated that PearPC had provided the inspiration for CherryOS, but "not the work, not the architecture. With their architecture I'd never get the speed."<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/>

After further development, CherryOS 1.0 was released in its final form on March 8, 2005,<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  with support for [[CD]], [[DVD]], [[USB]], [[FireWire]], and [[Ethernet]]. It was described as automatically detecting "hardware and network connections" and allowing "for the use of virtually any OS X-ready application,"<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  including [[Safari (program)|Safari]] and [[Mail (Apple)|Mail]].<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> Estimated to be compatible with approximately 70 percent of PCs,<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> MXS again fielded accusations that CherryOS 1.0 incorporated code from PearPC. MXS argued CherryOS was "absolutely not" a knockoff,"<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>  and that though "certain generic code strings and screen verbiage used in Pear PC are also used in CherryOS... they are not proprietary to the Pear PC product."<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> Shortly afterwards the creators of PearPC were reported to be "contemplating" litigation against Maui X-Stream,<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/> and on April 6, 2005, CherryOS was announced to be on hold.<ref name="cosconhold"/> A day later, CherryOS announced that "due to overwhelming demand, Cherry open source project launches May 1, 2005."<ref name="cosugoesopensource"/>

==History==
===Background and development===
On October 12, 2004, the [[emulator]] CherryOS was announced by Maui X-Stream (MXS),<ref name="cososweetensmac"/>  a [[startup company]] based in [[Lahaina, Hawaii]]<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/> and a subsidiary of Paradise Television.<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  At the time MXS was best known for developing software for [[video streaming]], particularly their VX3 encoder.<ref name="cosmmexpress"/>  As a new emulator intended to allow [[Mac OS X]] to be utilized on [[x86]] computer architecture,<ref name="cosmmexpress"/> CherryOS was advertised as working on [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 2000]] or [[Windows XP]],<ref name="cososweetensmac"/> with features such as allowing files to be dragged from PC to Mac, the creation of multiple profiles, and support for networking and sound.<ref name="cosktechspot"/> With development led by MXS employee and [[software developer]] [[Arben Kryeziu]],<ref name="cosmmexpress"/>  CherryOS was made available for pre-order<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/> on the MXS website.<ref name="cosynotbs"/>

Some articles hailed CherryOS as a new potential competitor for programs such as MacWindows,<ref name="cosrtechnews"/> while the ''[[Irish Times]]'' would later write that certain groups of consumers "were suspicious as to how a little-known Hawaii-based outfit... could suddenly do something that had evaded much larger firms."<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> In explaining the suspicion, [[Ars Technica]] later noted that emulators by small developers like [[PearPC]] had reputations for working extremely slowly,<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/>  meaning CherryOS's claim of operating 80 percent of the host PC's speed would have been "a major breakthrough" in the industry.<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  When asked by the ''[[Star Bulletin]]'', at this point Kryeziu denied any possibility that CherryOS would contain code from a rival program like Apple,<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  MacWindows, Emulators.com, or PearPC,<ref name="cososweetensmac"/>  stating that "our lawyers have looked at this and say we're in the clear. We wrote this from scratch and we're clean as a whistle."<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>

According to the ''[[Star Bulletin]]'', suspicions that CherryOS might be a hoax "were fanned" by glitches on the CherryOS home website,<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/> and three days after the site opened for pre-sales it crashed after taking 300,000 daily hits.<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  MXS president Jim Kartes crediting the crash on both unexpected high traffic and Mac "purists" who had hacked and destroyed the servers,<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  and though MXS continued to accept non-digital pre-orders,<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  by October 19 the CherryOS website was offline entirely as MXS switched to a new web host.<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/>

===Pre-release version===
Initially the company did not offer a trial version of CherryOS, citing concerns the code might be pirated. However,<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/>  "as a direct result of the overwhelming response to our October 12 announcement,"<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/> as of October 15 the company was readying a free [[Software release life cycle#BETA|beta]] version<ref name="coslstarbulletin"/> with a projected release date of November 25, 2004.<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/><ref name="coswwired"/> On October 18, Kryeziu stated that a free public demo would be released within a week,<ref name="cosynotbs"/> and CherryOS was first registered to be trademarked in the United States on October 19, 2004.<ref name="cosgjustia"/> On October 19, however, Kryeziu withheld a timetable for the CherryOS release, stating the company had been pre-emptive in releasing the earlier "soft launch" version,<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/>  and that CherryOS still had too many [[software bug]]s<ref name="cosynotbs"/>  to predict a release date.<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/>   ''[[Wired News]]'' reviewed a pre-release version around this time, reporting on October 22 that an expert had found distinguishing "watermarks" from [[PearPC]]'s source code in CherryOS.<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/>  Moreover, the pre-release version was reviewed to run at the same slow speed as PearPC,<ref name="coswwired"/> though ''Wired'' noted "they've actually done some work on it. They've written a whole graphical interface that makes [PearPC] easier to use."<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/>

In response to the article, MXS stated that the edition tested by ''Wired'' had been a "very bad...premature version" that "is not CherryOS,"<ref name="coswwired"/>  and that one of the CherryOS programmers had since been fired<ref name="coswwired"/> for directly grafting elements of PearPC code<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/> into the release.<ref name="coswwired"/> A competing emulator, PearPC been released the year before under the [[GNU General Public License]], which allows commercial products to use the software for profit under "certain conditions, such as acknowledging previous work."<ref name="cosynotbs"/> Kryeziu stated PearPC had provided the inspiration for CherryOS, but "not the work, not the architecture. With their architecture I'd never get the speed I got."<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/>  He argued that some similarities between CherryOS and PearPC were a result of "the fact that they were designed to perform similar functions,"<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/> and that "there are some functionalities that can only be done a certain way, and names are going to be similar or identical."<ref name="cosynotbs"/> ''Wired'' senior editor [[Leander Kahney]] posited that if the final CherryOS release did contain PearPC code, PearPC would be unlikely to sue Maui X-Stream for "a cut of any profits since open-source codes are protected more by an honor system than any legal basis."<ref name="cosqdenystealing"/><ref name="cosynotbs"/> By October 22, Kryeziu stated to ''Wired'' that he'd been contacted by [[Apple Computer]] for an undisclosed reason that "wasn't bad."<ref name="costnovmeberharvest"/>

===CherryOS 1.0 release===
<!--

Since the Software Freedom Law Center would not do actions pro-bono, if made in [[Hawaii]], the PearPC team began collecting donations to prepare for a lawsuit against Maui X-Stream and CherryOS.<ref>Slashdot: [http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/30/1552223&tid=98 PearPC Trying to Sue CherryOS]</ref> As CherryOS withdrew, this money became largely unnecessary, and was later donated to the Software Freedom Law Center, who represented individual developers of PearPC.<ref>Software Freedom Law Center: [http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2007/mar/30/pearpc/ PearPC Donates Legal Defense Fund to SFLC]</ref> 
-->

After a delay, CherryOS 1.0 was released in its final form on March 8, 2005. Maui-X Stream initially offered a free copy for evaluation<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/> on its website,<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/><ref name="cosxrereleased"/>  with 14 boot allowances<ref name="cosdresurfances"/>  and five free days per copy.<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>  According to MXS president Jim Kartes, within the first few days the free version was downloaded 100,000 times.<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  Stated Kartes to the ''Mac Observer'' on March 8, 2005, "there has been a lot of misinformation about this product... I think we have proven those skeptics wrong."<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/> Initial reports of certain computers encountering slow speeds<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  and glitches were explained by MXS as "expected," as "it's got bugs. That is why we're offering a free trial download. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't buy it.... we will use the testing of consumers to improve its stability and performance."<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  Kartes extrapolated that after development, somewhere between "60% and 70% of all PC owners" would be able to use the CherryOS product.<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>   MXS announced plans to market CherryOS throughout the summer of 2005, but withheld specifics on when it would be released for sale.<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>

BetaNews.com reviewed CherryOS upon its public release, arguing that there were again similarities between CherryOS and PearPC, including specific non-generic lines of code.<ref name="cosdresurfances"/> Maui X-Stream president Jim Kartes denied that CherryOS had grafted in PearPC code,<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/>  and on March 24, 2005, a spokesperson for CherryOS stated to the ''[[Irish Times]]'' that CherryOS 1.0 was "absolutely not" a knockoff of Pear PC, as "there are considerable differences between the two products: Both products emulate the Apple operating system but the similarity ends there."<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> The spokesperson further explained that "certain generic code strings and screen verbiage used in Pear PC are also used in CherryOS. They are not proprietary to the Pear PC product. For example, Pear tops out at G3 emulation and CherryOS is the only stable G4 emulator on the market today. CherryOS uses multithreading architecture for speed and ease of use. Pear employs a step-by-step approach; CherryOS features a shared-drive emulator, a drag-and-drop option allows you to connect the Windows drive to a Mac environment and CherryOS is the only emulator to support sound."<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>   Kartes further stated that although PearPC introduced their code before CherryOS, that "doesn't give them a claim on certain technical aspects of our product."<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>

On March 30, 2005, [[Ars Technica]] reported that the creators of PearPC were "contemplating" litigation against Maui X-Stream.<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/><ref name="cosplinuxinsider"/>   On April 6, 2005, Cherry OS was announced by its developers to be on hold "until further notice."<ref name="cosconhold"/> A day later, CherryOS announced on its website that it would no longer be a commercial product, and that "due to overwhelming demand, Cherry open source project launches May 1, 2005."<ref name="cosugoesopensource"/> The trademark for CherryOS was filed as abandoned as of June 21, 2006.<ref name="cosgjustia"/>

==Technical features==

===Overview===
CherryOS was a [[PowerPC G4]] processor [[emulator]] for [[x86]] [[Microsoft Windows]] platforms. Originally written to work with [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 2000]] or [[Windows XP]],<ref name="cososweetensmac"/>  among other features Cherry OS purported to allow files to be dragged from PC to Mac, the creation of multiple profiles, support skins, and support for networking and sound.<ref name="cosktechspot"/> In October 2004, the program's developer announced CherryOS as having "full network capabilities" and "complete access to the host computer's hardware resources - [[hard drive]], [[CPU]], [[RAM]], [[FireWire]], [[USB]], [[Conventional PCI|PCI]], [[PCMCIA|PCMCIA bus]], [[ethernet|Ethernet networking]] and [[modem]]."<ref name="cosbemulate"/>   By October 21, 2004, the program was reported to be a 7 MB download with [[Velocity Engine]] included.<ref name="cosrtechnews"/>  At the time, MMX stated they were developing [[3D acceleration]] for CherryOS.<ref name="cososweetensmac"/>

The program was publicly released on March 8, 2005, with support for CD, DVD, USB, FireWire, and Ethernet. It was described as automatically detecting "hardware and network connections" and allowing "for the use of virtually any OS X-ready application,"<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>   including [[Safari (program)|Safari]] and [[Mail (Apple)|Mail]] by [[Apple Inc|Apple]].<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> Estimated to be compatible with approximately 70 percent of PCs,<ref name="cossirishtimes"/> the CherryOS system required a [[Pentium]] 4 1.6 gigahertz (GHz) CPU or equivalent hardware and [[Windows XP]], as well as 512 megabytes of memory and 3 gigabytes of hard drive space.<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  After the initial March 8 release, speed of CherryOS 1.0 was reported to be variable. Karol McGuire of MXS stated that speed was depended on [[computer processor]], as "a processor that has inadequate space on the hard drive or that runs at less than optimum operating speeds will not allow CherryOS to perform as designed."<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>   Following the public launch, the company announced that Kryeziu would be overseeing development on "sound support and network bridging, as well as improving speed."<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>  Kryeziu explained "we think we'll have the first two issues solved fairly soon. It's the type of product that will be continually updated as we go along. We think we can make it faster than it is right now, but this will take time."<ref name="cosnmacobserver"/>

===Apple TOS===
For its year in development, there was some question in the press as to the legality of CherryOS in relation to [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s "Use and Restrictions" agreement, which only allows Apple programs to be used on a singular "Apple-labeled computer" at one time.<ref name="cososweetensmac"/> The publication [[Ars Technica]] notes, however, that "a PPC emulator [like CherryOS or PearPC] isn't just for violating [[Terms of service|ToS agreements]] and bringing down the wrath of Apple Legal. It has legitimate uses too... you could use an emulator to run a PPC version of [[Linux]] on x86 hardware, and you could even use a [[Peer-to-peer|P2P]] network to get that distribution of Linux, justifying two technologies with one rationalization."<ref name="cosfarstechnia"/> Despite this fact, the ''[[Irish Times]]'' pointed out that CherryOS was marketed exclusively to run Mac OSX, which it argued was  "clear" violation of the OS X license agreement.<ref name="cossirishtimes"/>
