Actually if he updates his iMac regularly it depends on the version installed. And 10.10 is allowed to be virtualized (10.7 and up is client and server; 10.5 and .6 only server - since for some versions the server is only an extension of the client via an AppStore-App anything else wouldn't make sense) > > All that the qubes-os developers are doing is putting the availability > > for those that have a MAC and want to run one piece of hardware > > instead of 4 to do so without an issue. > > _could_ be doing. > > > If people decide to use it for the wrong purposes, then that is not > > the fault of Qubes-OS.

Because not everyone is able to code, test code and build an operating system and would need a lot of work by the user to get to a level to include an appropriate patch (sorry, I don't know what exactly the patch is doing and what needs to be done to recompile the Xen hypervisor and install it properly) but maybe not a lot of work by the developers. But I also have to say that users often assume things are simpler than they expect. If the devs have no use for OS X and there's only one user who really wants it, the priority is probably not that high. > > I own a Mac, I want to run MacOSX on Qubes on my PC which is much much > > more powerful than my Mac.

Yes, there is always the option to ask a Qubes-dev what he wants in terms of compensation to get the feature faster implemented. I adjusted my expectations in terms of F/OSS that I can have feature requests and bug reports and hope that they get implemented at some point because I just don't have the money to pay a dev because I expect their hourly rates are outside my budget. Even with paid software I had to adjust my expectations that I pay for what the software can do now - everything else is just hopeful wishing (looking at you Hibari).
