Contest: Gues that OS!

templest · **Posted:** Sun Jun 06, 2004 5:02 pm

I know this would be better in the "Contest" forum, but, that one seems to be a little... err, empty. More people will see it here. 8)

I have a set of screenshots. You are to guess the Operating System, but don't think I made it easy. The winner gets 100 Bits. Shocked

Is it a [b]real[b] mac with some foolies to make you think it's windows?
Is it linux w/ KDE tweaked out to look like a Mac showing a Windows partition to make you think it's Windows?
Is it windows disguised as a Mac?
Is it GNOME doing the same thing as above?
Is it Enlightenment doing the same?
Is it PearPC running fullscreen?
ect...

It's up to you to decide, but NAME THAT OS!

It is PearPC in fullscreen.

I wont say if you're right or wrong.

On Friday, I'll award the first person to get it right the hundred bits, and anyone thereafter to get it right, 5 complementary bits.

C'mon kids, two entries? It doesn't take long to guess, even if you don't look at the pics, just randomly guess. Wink

It's a hundred bits. Razz

I am going to guse it is a mac emulator of some kind or somting used to view the monotr of another comp. Now as to what OS it realy is i whould have to guse winXP b/c 1. if it is a real mac this post was real dum and 2. i dont know of any linux mac emulators althougth there probly are some.

As it is almost imposable to tell, b/c u could take a SS from any comp and then make it fullscreen on a diff OS and take another SS.

PearPC is portable to all operating systems. Even Mac OS X. Razz

BTW: There are no screenshots inside screenshots in here. What you're seeing is the actual OS, whatever that may be.

while tecnoly PearPC (from what i understand it is) is a SS of the other comp, just one that updates fast so u can see what is going on Rolling Eyes

wtf are you smokin'?

PearPC is an emulator. It emulates a PowerPC architecture on your x86 machine. You actually do install OS X on a Virtual hard drive you create on the computer. Confused
