Well, they got me. At least I didn't give them any details.

good thing I couldn't care less about Mac's
let alone emulated on a PC

what would have been the point, to run Logic?

Well, for me it was more the principle of persuading Mac-only developers to port to PC... There are a lot of creativity apps that are still Mac only, and the existence of an emulator would demonstrated the PC-based demand for such things.

And yes, to run Logic (not for me, as I'm a pretty happy SX3 user, but for a number of "orphaned" Logic PC users I know).

but you have to be lucky any program works fine in an emulator, let alone a piece of software like Logic which demands so much from a machine it sometimes is a bitch to set up even on it's native platform

you're asking for problems

and I'm not sure which creative tools on a Mac you're talking about? (apart from a few) surely it should be the opposite, all the PC stuff that's not accessible for Mac users

That's what happens when bartenders start programming...

Probably... Although CherryOS claimed to inteface directly with PCI devices (via a virtual PCI bridge), which would suggest a certain stability and low latency of operation. And 20% performance would not have been too bad a hit on todays fast machines. I suppose my geek side also thought it was just an impressive technical accomplishment.

The latter is definitely true, but it doesn't mean that the PC side has everything covered as well as the Mac side. Anyway, I heard it in the pub so it must be true.

I think if the right people draw their attention to it, it can be done and successfully.. I just haven't seen anything yet that comes even close

ANYONE LISTENING OUT THERE!?!?!?!??

CherryOS based on PearPC :/
