Looking around at options to try out EQmac, instead of buying one I may try running a virtual mac on my PC.

Anyone doing this or know how well it will work, if it will at all :P?

**Please refrain from discussions on building non-Apple hardware to run OSX**

And btw, you are allowed to install OSX Lion in a virtual machine now. So you really should consider lighten this stupid rule up.

Edit 2: Also, instead of giving wrong information (wont work) you could just refer to that post before and everything would be fine.

*I* didn't make the forum rules. Read your PM's. If I didn't remove it, then Nikolai would have.

And when I said "Won't work", I was referring to using software (i.e. similar to Parallels on the Mac to run Windows) to run EQMac. People have tried, and the performance hit makes it unplayable. The OP stated Virtual Mac, not Hackintosh. If he had asked about a Hackintosh, I would have stoped the thread there.

All fine, edited the post you quoted before your answer since it was a bit out of line i guess. Still, everythings possible if there is a will. ;-)

Yup, it's all good. We did the adult thing and took it to PM's. ;)

If you can show me documentation which will supersede the clear references to "Apple-branded" and "Mac" hardware only in section 2 of the EULA for Lion (at: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx107.pdf), I will amend the current rules as to what is allowable usage of legally-obtained copies of the Mac OS.

Until then, discussions of hardware running MacEQ must be limited to only those stated in the EULA.
