Kabar buruk bagi anda yang sedang menggunakan Pear OS dan produk turunannya. Om David Tavares dalam posting Google+ nya mengumumkan penghentian pengembangan sistem operasi Pear OS karena dijual kepada sebuah perusahaan besar. Sejak pernyataan dihentikan, secara resmi seluruh produk Pear OS sudah tidak dapat didownload dari Official Website-nya. Hanya terpampang pesan dari pemilik Pear OS seperti berikut:

"Its future is now in hands of a company who wants to remain anonymous for the moment. The concept has pleased them it and now wants to continue and improve the system for their own products. I can not give a name but it is a very large company well known." "I want to thank all users, moderators and other developers who have made Pear OS it is today, that without this adventure would not have been possible. I'm going in another direction. Another big thank you to all and I hope to return to the scene of open source very quickly. Cordially, David."

Selain dari Website resminya, mirror Pear OS di SourceForge juga hilang. Bagi yang ingin mendownload Pear OS, anda masih bisa mencari di beberapa penyedia file torrent dan dari Softpedia.
