rohde Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 It emulates the PowerPC architecture on a x86 host. Since it's main application was to run Mac OS X on x86 hardware it's not very interesting anymore. It never did achieve much speed wise - it was very slow. It was still impressive what they did tho'.

But I thought that it was like Virtual PC, that it opens mac os and windows at the same time. But as I understand if i have osx86 running I don't need pear pc for anithing?
