The future: Seamless VM

[AndrewAPrice]

Has everyone seen the seamless Window intergration on a lot of new VM software?
Examples being VMWare's Unity (for Windows and Linux guests), Parallel Desktop's Coherence (Windows guests running on Mac only), and Virtual Box's "seamless mode" (Windows, Linux, Solaris guests).

I want to see the same thing supporting Mac OS X guests. I built a Hackintosh just for a few programs, but still I'd rather everything accessible on one computer (without rebooting).

VMWare Fusion (VMWare for OS X) also has Unity support of Windows and (I believe) Linux guests. It's been a while since I booted a linux VM on my MacBook, though, so I may be wrong about that, and I'm too lazy to look at the web page for Fusion, heh.

Apple doesn't allow their consumer OS to be run under virtualization - you will need the server version do do it (legally). And then it will be cheaper to buy a new Mac Mini .

But according to http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index ... are_how_to it is possible to run OS X 10.4 under VMWare. You could give it a try.
