PearPC has been around for quite some time. There's speculation that 
CherryOS has packaged up parts of PearPC into a nice GUI, but either way, 
CherryOS is not unique. CherryOS may be "new" news, however, emulating 
MacOS X on PC hardware is pretty old news.

They did. They alledgedly had it running on intel hardware internally , at 
least initially. NestStep supported intel, Rhapsody certainly had an intel 
port, and Darwin will run on intel hardware too.. However, if Apple 
released it, they'd loose all support from M$. No more M$ office etc. No 
more M$ backhanders. M$ would nail them to the floor. You only have to 
look at what happened to OS/2 and BeOS to realise that.
