VMWare Announces Version for OS X In Development

pdscomp writes "VMware has just announced at today's Apple WWDC 2006 Conference that they are developing a port of VMware to Mac OS X. People interested in beta testing the product later this year can visit this link to sign up for the public test. It will be interesting to see how things play out between VMware and Parallels. Will Microsoft bother porting Virtual PC now that there will be two other Intel OS X virtualization solutions available? Now all we need is to get Mac OS X running under Xen."

    So you want to run one of finest operating systems in a virtual machine on one of the worst operating system available? You must be smoking something good.

    Darn license agreements. Always getting in the way of things that are fun.

    Not a problem. I'll just get an Apple label and stick it on my PC :).

    No. OS X isn't compatible with Golden Delicious. You should be able to run it on a Cox's Pippin or a Granny Smith, though.
