Cheery Os..........................

Recommended Posts

sapa kata......aku download okay je....tapi leh tahan 14 hari je.........korang still nak link tu ke?

bukan aku kata.. http://os-emulation.net/cherryos/

Update (5/15/05):

It appears that Cherry OS is now a "dead" project. The project's home page now reads "Cherry OS is no more". (See the cherryos site here).

Updated 4-7-05:

In a very interesting move, the Cherry OS project appears to have been put "on hold" until May 1, 2005. The reason: Cherry OS is going open source. Of course, there are those of us who believe that it has always been open source all along, stealing from the PearPC project. Check out the goods here.

See the review of Cherry OS, and how it compares to PearPC!

Introduction...

On October 12, 2004, a company by the name of MXS litterally shocked several computing circles with the announcement of a new Macintosh PowerPC emulation environment for Microsoft Windows. Called Cherry OS, it claimed to be able to do for Windows what Virtual PC does for Macintosh users. A quick roundup of Cherry OS' features are as follows:

Complete hardware support of the host PC, including access to Firewire, USB, PCI bus, ethernet, and modem

Drag and drop file copy between host PC and emulated environments

Complete emulation of the guest processor (in this case, PowePC G4 emulation (with G5 emulation around the corner)

List price of $49.95

MXS also claims something that has not yet been done in advanced emulation environments:

The emulation runs at 80% of the speed of the host processor

This is quite a claim to make. This means that on a 3GHz Pentium processor, the emulated Macintosh should run at 2.4GHz! That's really amazing, as the general rule when emulating a high-end processor, a large amount of overhead exists for the host computer's CPU. This overhead results in a very big speed bump in the emulated environment. For example, when running Virtual PC for Macintosh on a 1.2GHz G4 processor, the emulated Windows environment generally runs at about 1/3 (33%) of the speed of the G4. This puts the emulated PC at about 400Mhz; not bad, but not the best, either.

Even more impressive is the fact that Cherry OS is using a CISC processor to emulate a RISC processor. Virtal PC is doing the opposite, using a RISC processor to emulate CISC. What does this mean? In layman's terms, a RISC processor is generally more efficient and faster at performing certain tasks versus a CISC processor because of its reduced complexity (RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing). It is therefore easier for a RISC processor, such as a PowerPC G4, to emulate a CISC processor, such as a Pentium III, than for a CISC processor to emulate a RISC processor. Add in the fact that Cherry OS also claims to be able to emulate the 128-bit Vector processing functions of the G4 (called AltiVec or Velocity Engine), adding even more overhead, and still maintain that 80% statistic all for under 50 bucks, and well, you have one heck of a deal on your hands.

nnti jap...

apsal tajuk dia "Cheery Os.........................., Bleh guna OS WIndow kat MAC?"

nie nak pakai win kat mac @ mac kat win.....

klu nak run win kat mac... pakai je M$ Virtual PC........

lupa lak... Virtual PC hanya nak run windows application(aku kurang pasti).... sepeti word excel dll......

selain tu QEMU........ ko cubalah............

F A... aku dah baca laa..... apa yg aku faham, cherry os nie nak emulate power pc..........

Korang ada info pasal nie tak?

Virtual PC for Mac

Parallel Dekstop

BootCamp <-cume beze yg ni dgn yg lain, yg ni ko leh run software n games gak yg ade kat PC

kalo mahal, amik free drpd aku jer...

tp aku cume available utk yg kat sekitar Bangi n KL jer ler :)

lupa lak... Virtual PC hanya nak run windows application(aku kurang pasti).... sepeti word excel dll......

selain tu QEMU........ ko cubalah............

F A... aku dah baca laa..... apa yg aku faham, cherry os nie nak emulate power pc..........

install je lah Office for Mac

wat pe nk masuk Windows plak, nyusahkan jer...
