CherryOS Goes Open Source

netsniper writes "The CherryOS website now acknowledges a forthcoming alliance with Open Source Software! After going 'on hold' recently, a re-release of CherryOS is purported to be coming in May according to the site. This is great news on the surface, but let's see how it pans out. This move is probably a result of the many reviews of their product that set out to prove it was bogus."

So I guess this means..

[Anonymous Coward]

..that they are popping their Cherry?

Nothing to see.

[RangerRick98]

Heh, first time I tried to load this story I got "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." I can't help but wonder if the CherryOS people might make a similar statement in May when they're supposed to open the source.

"Due to overwhelming demand"

[BabyDave]

s/demand/threats of legal action/

It would be funny if the OSS release proved that it wasn't a rip-off of PearPC. Unlikely, but funny.

You must be new here.

Thank you

I for one wish to thank CherryOS developers for being so generous to give the fruits of their so hard work to the community.

Ah, the master plan to open source Windows!

[ardor]

This move is probably a result of the many reviews of their product that set out to prove it was bogus.

1. Say Windows XP/Longhorn is bogus
2. Wait for them to release it as Open Source
3. ???
4. Profit!!!

It's always been open source

[Anita Coney]

They're only admitting it now.

Yeah, right.

[dangitman]

In today's other top stories, Fox News just went liberal, and hired Al Gore as their director of programming. Michael Moore also decided to become a warblogger, and said he was wrong about everything he said about the Bush administration.

My life is complete now.

[Rixel]

YES!

I can finally breathe again!

Re:oh please

[nenolod]

Come on now, it's a repackaged version with pretty graphics!

Good luck

[Underholdning]

Hope this goes better than Cherry Coke.

You're too late

[pklong]

You're too late. April 1st was ages ago.....

No, I'm New Here

[New Here]

Re:Oh sorry, typo

[Anonymous Coward]

I think the correct date would be: 4.1.2005

What's so special about 4. January ?

Re:Yeah, right.

[maxwell demon]

You forgot: Microsoft releases Windows XP under the GPL. The RIAA officialy declares that DRM was the wrong thing and stops sueing file downloaders, who reply instantaneously by paying for all songs they downloaded via P2P. SCO redraws their lawsuite against IBM. And the congress passes a law which voids all software patents.

Ah, and before I forget it: Did you hear that the temperature in hell has fallen lately? Climate scientists predict it to freeze over in a few years.

Re:CherryOS "Inventor" can't even ...

[rbarreira]

Yeah, middle-endian sucks... Let's hope they don't start using this in cpu's :)

Re:Nothing to see.

[kfg]

Whatever. All I know is that I can't wait to see if I can get it to run on my Phantom gaming console.

Shit, if that works out I figure I'll go whole hog and create the worlds first vapor super cluster.

It certainly won't take up much space.

Re:It's Easy

[elgatozorbas]

It was so simple and easy, I don't know why they didn't Open Source Cherry OS from the begining.

Because someone would copy it and call it Banana OS?

hit ms

[blackomegax]

great, lets set out to prove windows is bogus next,

then MS will be FORCED to release source code.


riiiight?
