Default Mac OS for Windows

OK. I'm pretty much a die-hard windows user. While I'm happy with that, I've always wanted to an extended playaround with a Mac. The only way I would consider buying a Mac would be after an oppertunity to mess with one for a bit in the privacy of my own home.

I've been playing around with VirtualBox for the last couple of days. It allows you to create virtual machines with different operating systems on your computer. It suddenly occured to me that I could create a virtual Mac on my windows PC. I want to give it a try but I know zero about the different OSs availble for the Mac. So I've got a couple of questions.

1. Can I purchase a complete Mac OS off the shelf? I've had a look around the Apple websites but can't seem to find full OS downloads - just upgrades to Snow Leopard.

2. If I can find a full Mac OS which one should I pick - presuming of course there is a choice?

3. If I try to install a Mac OS on a virtual machine - am I likely to be stumped by issues like not being able to register it???

4. Anything else you can think of.

Since OSX 10.7, Coedname 'Lion', it is only possible to purchase an Upgrade from 10.6, Codename 'Snow Leopard', to 10.7 via digital Download. The last OS to purchase as a Retail Version DVD was 10.6. You can make a Backup from the 10.7 digital DL to a DVD, but there is no Retail Version AFAIK.

You don't really have a choice - if you want to buy a Retail Version, the best you can do is 10.6.

Actually, there are a lot of Issues involving Virtualisation of a Mac OS.
  1. First of all, it is prohibited by Apple to run the OS on Non-Apple-Hardware (Exerpt from Apple SLA "You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer").

    So running an OSX on a Windows Computer is not oficially supported - there are unofficial Solutions, but they involve a lot of Configuration. If you are looking for an out-of-the-Box Solution to buy, you can forget it.

  2. Virtualisation of OSX is generally possible, but restricted to the Server Version of 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 running VMWare or Parallels. With 10.7 you can legally run even up to 3 Instances on the same Machine.
    From the 10.7 EULA: "(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software."

  3. Even on the Mac-Plattform itself it is a bit tricky to run different Versions of OSX - i have looked into the Possibility to install a VM-Version of 10.7 on a 10.6-Machine with VMWare. That was only possible in the 4.0-Version of VMWare, an update to the 4.1 Version prevented the Installation and running of a 10.7-VM. There was some confusion why, but it is rumored that Apple was not pleased and had pressured VMWare to prohibit such a Configuration. I am not sure if that is true, but such a Constellation was technically possible.

  4. To answer your Question regarding Registration: Each Mac has a Hardware-UUID, which is unique of course. At the first start of the OS you have to register and that Registration-Information along with the Hardware-UUID is transfered to Apple, but you can do that with bogus Information. The OS itself has no Registration-Key or Serialnumber like Windows, so you can Install multiple Machines from the same Installation-Medium without regard of Serialnumbers.

4. Anything else you can think of.
As i said - you will not be able to buy an OSX-Version for testing purposes for a Non-Apple-Hardware. The only way is to look for an unoffical way, which involves some Expertise, a big DL-Bandwidth (OSX 10.7 is a 4,6 GB ISO-Image) and a lot of Time.

I purchased the latest OSX from ebay and slapped it into VMWare workstation. After a bit of tweaking it was running just fine. Sure, obviously, it breaks a few or the apple rules but that's the way everything works with Apple. The inifo required to get OSX running under VMWorkstation is a google/bing search from your finger tips.

P.s. Most mac owners would have updated their OS via the App store so there won't be a great deal of dvds around for that version of the OS.

Please post you computer configuration, you need a really strong cpu to run osx, and why donn't you try installing osx on a seperate partition with iBoot, i think that is more easy and stable than virtual machine, it sure is difficult, I succeded only once, searh iBoot in google, there are many tutorials. Good luck!

Thanks ZeeeK. I'll keep that in mind, but at the moment I'm up to my armpits in other computer related issues. Anyway - it's good information to have out there.
