I've never been a fan of Apple products and like the company itself even less. However, I have come to a situation where im going to have to get some more knowledge/experience of mac OS as i continue to pursue a career in computer forensics.

What Apple exams/courses would you recommend for the basics?

Other than purchasing a mac how easy is the OS to install as a virtual machine?


Thanks.

As for OS X vm's - it's against the eula unless it's virtualised on mac hardware. This doesn't mean it hasn't, or can't, be done. Google is your friend depending on which virtualisation solution you wish to use, I have read that Virtualbox provides a smoother experience than VMware though.

 

No 30 day trial then

The mac hardware thats just rebranded and costs twice as much as it would cost from the original manufacturer!

Thanks for the link. Hopefully Apple's site will be back up soon.

 

Ive got OS X Lion working in VMware. It works ok but seems a little slow. PC spec: i5, 8gb ram, HD6950. I'll use this short term as theres no trial version.

 

Lion brought about some big changes compared to previous versions of OS X. However, you can figure out most of the differences by looking at the videos on Apple's website and checking out the reviews that are coming out now.

 

Looks like Apple are making some changes to their certs which is why they website is currently down

 

They are updating everything because of OS X Lion but I think this is too soon.. oh well we'll see when everything is back up. Rumor has it they are going to pull out of Prometric? Sheesh.
