    MacOS in a VM?

    Is there any way of getting MacOS to run in a virtual machine on a Mac?

    fao chris kimpton

    just download the new version and intall it, should work with your existing key

    god bless parallels give vmware a run for its money on the pc dont let them rest on their laurels

    There is a project somewhere that claims to have the Mac OS running on generic hardware. It required some fiddling to defeat the kernel code that checks for genuine Apple hardware I believe. Even if it works, it is expressely forbidden by the software licence.
