There's screenshots in a thread at Neowin.net

Looks interesting...

CherryOS actaully exists.  I always thought it was a fake, or a PearPC ripoff, which it still may turn out to be, who knows.

* Dempsey download CherryOS to try it out

whats so good about it?

it's an OS X Emaulator for PC's

so like say an apple emac...but on a pc? That actually sounds awesome but will i loose all my stuff on my comp if i use that?

yea its the apple mac OS but you can run it on a pc.  Na you wont lose your stuff, it doesnt use partitions or stuff, you have an image file.  But you also need a copy of OS X

Wow this is kool. I always wanted to try OS X.

why would i need a copy of os x wouldnt cherry be good enough?

Bah, You people.

PearPC is what you want, does the same stuff, and it's FREE!

Yeah, But many people are calling BS on that.

Does CherryOS actually let you boot OsX through BIOS, or is it like PearOS and runs through Windows?

like PearPC and runs through Windows

Limits
While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).

Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldn't be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)

Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldn't be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)

A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).

Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client.

PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.

No Altivec support yet but being worked on.

No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

No, it won't run on Windows XP x64, but since 64-bit processors are back compatible I should be fine.
