Cherry OS Is Dead

From Chery OS's creator's blog:

"I decided that C-OS is not worth the hassle, not now or in the future. C-OS went to work without brushing its teeth or taking a shower, it was not ready.

Other current open source projects are progressing to the desired product; Qemu will soon support OS X and lead the way. Or maybe I am wrong and someone else will make a fast lead.

I love my Mac and would never switch back, sure I use my PC for work but that is just a bad habit that I am trying to get rid of. A friend of mine asked me why I am still creating software for Windows and that question is not getting out of my head. Oh yeah, I know – everyone out there who has their certain opinion about me will have their great comment hour right now. Its ok I expect that anyway.

Now what?

Don’t know and won’t know for a while.

I will go kite boarding or go fishing, get some air before I go back to my beloved square box. Tiger is great, amazing features and I love the hidden details. Don’t know how Longhorn is going to compete with this OS now, would love to know what BG has planned for the future of Windows other than the marketing details.

What will change everything is WIFIMAX, wow it will be the first step into a security nightmare and communication dreamland."

Oh dear his attempt to steal code from a GPL project and sell it as proprietary software has failed. What a shame.

What opinion could he be referring to? Perhaps the opinion that Cherry OS was a complete sham from the beginning, and there was never any true intention or real possibility of this project actually seeing its grandiose claims come to fruition? Nah, couldn't be that one....

Unfortunately, I was actually quite enthusiastic when I first learned of the "project", but was soon let down by the sad truth.
