That’s true, but I don’t think it’s safe to assume that running the MAC OS under the MS hypervisor is going to be the same as running Windows under the MAC virtualization within a Windows corporated infrastructure.

That’s not at all what I had in mind.

In order to do this, Microsoft would have to toss the Hypervisor.

They already have the tech. They got it when they bought Connectix.

But, again, I’m not giving Microsoft any ideas for free. I know we have ‘softies reading this forum.

Ooops, sorry, wrong thread on my last reply, thought it was the other active Windows thread this morning.

There is no legal way to get Mac OS X running in a VM on Windows. And I don’t think it would work very well, even hacked. You have to use it as a dual-boot system.

I have run Windows on a Mac in a Windows corporate infrastructure/network. The domain controllers, network shares, and everything else didn’t have a problem and couldn’t tell I was on a Mac other than the MAC address - which didn’t matter.

BTW, it’s “Mac” for the computer and “MAC” for media access controller - i.e., network card.
