Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any experience of running OSX in a VM on a Windows 7 64 PC?

I want to experience and use OSX more and possibly do my design work in there. But I am unsure as to how all this VM etc works.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, people force OSX onto netbook and all new mac's are intel BIOS based now anyway...

Surely by now it's gotta be simple push button install and would just work?

Currently run Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (got the vmware image from torrents) under vmWare on a Win7 64 system and it's pretty decent, it's actually responsive (a tiny bit laggy, obviously not like running a hackintosh/OSX86 etc) unlike the previous 10.5 image i had. I've noticed that it likes ram though, so give it as much as you can and place the vmware image on the fastest drive you've got otherwise it lags a bit.
