Vmware client mac os x6/15/2023 ![]() ![]() If no one here knows the answer, I will run the experiment, of course. Does VMware do OS flavor checking *after* a guest OS has been virtualized? In other words, will the install of Snow Leopard client that was allowed in release 4.10 still function if I upgrade to VMWare 5? But that brings up another good question. ![]() ![]() I'm not at OS X 10.8 yet, so if there are stability issues I haven't hit them. That may be the de jure of the matter, but the de facto is that Apple does not want it to happen at this time and has made that clear to the virtualization software companies.) (And, to forestall an outbreak of this argument, yes I am aware of the armchair legal argument that says that the EULA doesn't really prohibit client OS virtualization. For some reason, someone at VMware ended up with the impression that Apple would be okay with this (maybe even due to ambiguous communication from Apple, I don't know). It is appearing to me that the 4.10 release was not an accident or due to a bug, but rather to miscommunication. I admit I can't follow the logic entirely, so I will not try to recapitulate it. Or so folks in a position to know have informed me. Not that it much matters, but I've been trying to dig for the backstory on all of this and it appears that the EULA restrictions are in some way related to the feuds/turf wars involving Apple, Adobe, and Google. Didn't realize it was there at first, and hopeful/wishful thinking got the better of me. Yeah, once I discovered there was another level I could drill down on the guest OS list, I discovered all this. ![]()
