Virtualized OS X is a sticky subject because Apple will not allow its operating system to run on non-Apple hardware.<\/p>\n<p>At the demo of an as-yet-unnamed VMware virtualization product at last fall&#8217;s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, a VMware official told eWEEK Labs that VMware might enable virtualized instances of OS X by implementing some sort of check to make sure that an OS X virtual machine was running on Apple hardware, but so far it seems that OS X will remain walled off from the world of virtualized deployment. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eWeek had some very interesting comments about using VMware Fusion for Mac, including about running Mac OS X inside of a virtual machine.
