To do so, you would need to be run ESXi on Apple hardware either the now deprecated Apple XServe 3.1 or an Apple Mac Pro.

Even apple does this.porting their best software (iTunes and Quicktime) to Windows, and leaving their junkware (Final Cut Suite) as a Mac exclusive.With the release of vSphere 5, virtualizing Apple Mac OS X as a guest OS was possible and fully supported from VMware. Even those who start on MacOS will port to windows to get that market (assuming there isn't something better on windows already). Why? Because apple only has about 5% of the PC market, and most developers start with PC versions because the user base is 20x larger. Of course, after a few dozen times restarting to OSX just to run one app, you will be looking for something better on windows.and you will find it. There really isn't any good reason to do mac emulation, unless you already have the software, and you don't want to pay for new software.or maybe if you write software for macs, but don't own one yourself.Īs for making a hackintosh, the process is a lot easier than it may seem.apple tries to block it from installing on PC hardware, but a mac is nothing but a underpowered, overpriced PC anyway. If that is too costly, look at Pinnacle.ģ.) Safari? Even iPhone users don't want to use that! Why would anyone want it as a desktop browser? Try Opera or Firefox. No professional would ever consider using something that lossy.

Unless you need it for an iPod/iPad/iPhone, I would recommend about a hundred other apps before I recommended iTunes.Ģ.) Final cut pro is a very misleading name. It slows windows down because apple does not know how to write windows code, but it is still faster than running it from a virtual machine.
