How to run Mac OS X within Windows Virtual PC? [closed]

Be mindful of the license.

Solution 2:

Can you run OS X on Windows? Yes, apparently you can with PearPC. Is it legal? Well, that is another question on its own.

While it is possible (which is what you asked), there are certain limitations:

While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do). A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC). Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client. PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature. No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

Solution 3:

Here's a post that contains a couple reasons why you can't. The reasons are also listed below:

This is not possible for three reasons:

1) Apple does not allow this in their OS licensing

2) Mac OS X specifically checks to ensure that it is installing on Apple hardware

3) Mac OS X requires that the computer has an APIC - which we do not emulate
