Different versions are governed by the license they come with. The Snow Leopard license does not allow virtualization. Lion does, but does it refer to 10.7 only? It's an open question, which will be answered in a practical fashion when and if the VM software devs update their software. I'll bet VirtualBox is first out of the gate for OS X virtualization, as they've already done it, albeit only briefly. If Apple is allowing any previous version now, they'll all offer it soon, as this will be a stopgap to supporting ROsetta. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
