“But Maui X-Stream President Jim Kartes categorically denied using any of PearPC’s code,” Singel reports. CherryOS is still using significant amounts, if not all, of PearPC’s code as the emulation engine.'” When you examine the executables, it’s still got so many identical strings that aren’t just generic. ‘I’m surprised at the gall of some people,’ Schroeder said. “Dave Schroeder, a senior systems engineer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, looked at both October’s preview release and Tuesday’s release and did not like what he found. “The company became embroiled in controversy last October when it offered a preview release, which experts said was simply a repackaging of a free, open-source emulator called PearPC,” Singel reports. The software emulates a G4 processor, allowing Windows XP machines to run Apple Computer’s OS X operating system.” “Maui X-Stream, a Hawaii-based software company that sells streaming video products, re-released the $50 CherryOS on Tuesday. “Maui X-Stream has re-released its controversial CherryOS emulator but the software still appears to be a rip-off of an open-source software project, according to experts,” Ryan Singel reports for Wired News.
