    Found this article, great find, totally against the EULA, but for those of you who have wanted to do this for some time, now's your chance

    http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/12/install-snow-leopard-in-vmware-7-windows-edition/

    It doesnt sound like it works for everyone and there are some glitches, but i don't wonder i this couldnt be a base to try some other things

    worked fine for me though, pretty nice having another OSX system to test on :)

    Nice find Phoenix. Had to upgrade to VMWare Workstation 7 to get it working, but it seems pretty snazzy.

    Question though, I've never used a mac before, so have no idea what I'm doing. How do I get the sound working on the vm mac? The link indicates that you get one of the files from the download and run it, but i have no idea how to get it onto the mac, nor how to run it once its there.
