CherryOS is vaporware.  It did manage to bring attention to a little 
known streaming media company in Hawaii, however.  Pretty smart using 
the Power Of Slashdot to get attention.

It's illegal to use such a thing unless Apple changes the license for 
Mac OS X to allow it to run on non-Apple branded hardware.  Any 
developer (or scammer) capable of using PearPC to fake a bunch of 
screenshots should know that.  They'd also experience the wrath of 
Apple's legal team if it was real.
