    Install Mac OS X Snow Leopard in VirtualBox

    How to Install Mac OS X Snow Leopard in VirtualBox on Windows 7
    By Taimur Asad | July 10th, 2010


    Previously, we showed you how to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard using VMware in Windows 7. Since VMware license costs a lot, the good news is that you can now install OS X in Windows using one of the most popular free virtualization software
    called VirtualBox. You’ll need to have a system with an Intel or AMD processor which supports hardware virtualization, OSX86 iso, VirtualBox and Windows 7, Vista or XP installed as host operating system. If you meet all these requirements, you can then install OS X Snow Leopard as a VM under Windows to enjoy the best of both worlds.

    The author forgets the Apple boot ROM .iso file, which you have to get from a pirate site. If it were so simple, it would have been done a few years ago.

    Putting Mac OS X on a Windows box is like giving fine wine to the town drunk.

    It's also could also leave you open to a potential lawsuit since it violates Apple's software license. Not that I really care but anyone who does it should be aware of all the possible implications.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
