b0b Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi hackers, I’ve done a fair share of googling, but the answer apparently still eludes me. A few ppl mentioned that it might be illegal, but I’m not quite sure whether or not it is legal. To keep it short: Can you run OS X on your VMware? And is it legal? Will all the hardware work? (I still haven’t found out to enable/share the wireless card yet in my virtual XP). I’m currently using Vista 64 bit with VMware Workstation 6.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m currently using Vista 64 bit with VMware Workstation 6.5 It's against the user agreement to run OS 10 on non-Apple hardware, which does make it illegal. OS 10 won't know you have a wireless adapter, same as any OS in a VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0b Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rats... Is there any other way of sampling OS X at home without having to buy or borrow a Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit Hunter Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 If i remember it right you can install MacOS on a non-Apple hardware only if you are a Apple Certified User. And if my memory serve me right it costs only couple of hundred bucks to become one... Although there is a free developer membership, but i don't remember if it allowed one to install on a non-Apple hardware... And it is possible to install MacOS X in VMware Workstation 6 (haven't tried in 6.5, should go although). *cough*There is a MacOS VM floating around*cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
