    LOL, are you trying to get mods to come and close your thread?

    Although, on second thought... I guess this could all be running on an Apple computer and therefore not violate Apple EULA... you can't really tell just from the picture. ;)

    lol

    I just searched virtual machines on wiki and there are so many of them out there :) . Some can privide execution of code written for another type computer, such as in this case.

    I think the VMware is one of the best ones

    Installing blablabla Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware gnagnagna is forbidden from the Apple EULA etc... Isn't VMWare not Apple hardware? Anyway, that's good to know VMW player can run Mac OS :)

    Maybe it is. Perhaps you should update the hardware in your signature to reflect said Apple hardware. ;)

    Install Vista on a MAC, and then install VMWare and install OSX in a virtual environment? Knock yourself out - that seems like more work than it is worth.

    Using OSX is more work than it is worth, but that is beyond the point ;)

    If perhaps this is the case, do you really think you are the first person to put OS X on a non-mac computer?:twitcy:

    Wow, I didn't get it at first. I saw the ad and I was like no I don't usually see ads, then I saw it was OS X in VMware. I haven't personally run OS X in VMware, but a lot of people make Hackintosh computers. I'm sure what kegobeer would be allowable per the EULA, but it would be easier to run Vista in VM Fusion. Unless they are saying that Vista runs better than OS X does on its own hardware.

    if no harm was truely done, and that is a mac running vista...which is running VMWARE to emulate mac hardware and environment...then running OSX on that mac... have i got it correctly??

    and could you run OSX on the mac and then emulate VISTA using wine,,, then run VMWARE to allow OSX to be ran inside the VMWARE,,, in that situation, should you technically have to 2 OSX licenses or would it be "legal" to use the same license since both instances of OSX was being used on the same cpu at the same instant?

    it just made me think "what if"

    I think if you keep going you are going to end up creating a blackhole and destroy the universe.
