Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SWALL MEADOWS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2001--
OpenOSX.com, a leading provider of easy-to-use, world-class
open-source software, today began shipping their WinTel Pre 1 CD which
delivers true compatibility with Pentium(R) processors, disk image and
CD-ROM support within Mac OS X.

Floppy disk support may be achieved by creating a disk image with
Apple's Disk Copy software. An OpenOSX utility is provided to transfer
data between the emulator and the Mac OS X operating system. The
operating systems supported are Mac OS 10.1.

The OpenOSX CD installs separate disk images with FreeDos, Linux,
DLX Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD pre-installed. The user may install
Pentium/x86-based operating systems and software of their choice.
OpenOSX has tested Windows 95, and are preparing instructions for
installing Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0.

Thanks to Mac OS X's advanced architecture, multiple G4 CPUs are
utilized and are emulated as a single powerful Pentium(R) processor.
Mac OS X is a true chameleon of operating systems; users may now run a
long list of operating systems within it: Mac OS 9, Windows 95/98/NT,
DOS, Linux, Unix, BSD, etc. software seamlessly.

OpenOSX.com developed a CD-ROM driver enabling CD-ROM support.
OpenOSX is continuing AltiVec and non-AltiVec optimizations and
developing support for networking, SoundBlaster emulation, USB and
modem support.

The OpenOSX CD installs and fully configures OpenOSX WinTel 1.0
Pre 1, OpenOSX DiskXFer 1.0 Pre 1, Bochs 1.3 Pre 1 applications.
