VMWare Question about Mac...

code frog 0

Can you run the latest Mac software in VMWare? Does anyone know how you go about it if possible? Oh and by the way... VMWare Workstation is freaking cool!

Isn't that what Mike D is about to be working on ?

I don't think the OS X license permits running it in a virtual machine - so VMWare (and Parallels, for that matter) explicitly disallow it - see this link[^]

At the moment, without resorting to dodgy hacks, the short answer is no. You need a Mac to run OS X and other Mac software, but on a Mac you can use VMWare to run Windows.

Yeah, because, like the thread below said, it's Jobs who always plays fair...

Yeah Right!!!!!!! That must be why you can't port any music from Ipod to a standard MP3 player.

Actually you can. If you set the default File format for iTunes to mp3 (You do this via Options i think) and then select all files and select convert to mp3. beware this will create a duplicate file in mp3 format.

You can't do that for music you buy from ITMS, however thats not Apple's fault.
