cinda30 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Open Source: Pear OS downloads are no longer available. Did Apple kill it? The developer of Pear OS has posted on Google+ that the Mac-like Linux distribution has been sold to another company ..... ;)The issue of who is behind the death of Pear OS is quite intriguing. The developer mentions that it was bought by another company but doesn't say who nor does he give specific reasons on why they purchased it. Was Apple involved in any way with the death of Pear OS? The conspiracy-minded among us probably think that might be a real possibility, particularly if Apple acted behind the scenes via a shell company. Apple has been known to do just that in years past when it wanted to negotiate for something without having its real identity known.But I doubt this very much since Pear OS didn't seem to have anything Apple would actually need. If Apple was going to deal with Pear OS it most likely would have gone through its lawyers instead of acting through clever subterfuge by posing as another company.So the question remains: Who killed Pear OS? For now we simply don't know, it remains a mystery. But hopefully the company responsible will soon step out of the shadows and make its intentions known. Is Pear OS really dead forever or will it be reborn in a new form? We'll just have to wait and see.What's your take on the death of Pear OS? Do you know who killed it?
