Well, it isn't quite as amusing anymore. Read this from MacMinute:


Cherry OS runs Mac OS X on PCs
October 12 - 10:41 EDT   MXS today announced the availability of Cherry OS,
a "software translator" that the company claims allows you to install and
run Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) on a PC. "Cherry OS runs Panther as a virtual
machine on your Windows PC," explains the developer. "This virtual machine
has full network capabilities including the ability to share folders and
access the Web. The virtual machine also has complete access to the
computer's hardware resources including, Hard Drive, CPU, RAM, Firewire,
USB, PCI, PCMIA BUS and RJ45/Ethernet and Modem." Cherry OS is priced at
US$49.95.

Hmmm!
