Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Mac OS question

I'm not sure what form of testing you are hoping for but if is to test an application that will eventually be viewed on a Mac, then using any form of VM is not the way to go. I don't trust VM for true testing of an end user's experience.

Also look into the cost of OS X on it's own vs. the cost of a Mini. According to the Apple Canada web site:

Mac Mini $699 in the base configuration which includes OS X
Mac OS X $149 for single user

$550 might seem like a lot but I believe that it will be well worth the investment. Especially if you run Boot Camp on it which will allow it to run as an extra Windows machine.

Just my 2 cents (which hey, is almost worth 2 cents US!!!)

For those of you in the know,

I am considering an attempt to install Mac OS X as a VMWare virtual machine, as a test environment for my apps with Safari and other Mac-based browsers. There are several unofficial instructions on how to do this, with a bit of searching.

My question is: Does the latest version of OS X automatically support Intel, or do I need a special version?


When I click on the link to buy, the hardware requirements simply says "PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor".

Any insight would be helpful, thanks.

Scott Cadillac,
