Is This Really Mac OS X v10.4.1 Running On A PC?

Categories: HTML/ColdFusion, Source Code, JavaScript, Java, Flex/Flash

Gizmodo posted a screen shot of someone supposedly running Mac OS X v10.4.1 via a VMWare session. While I'm hoping this news is true, I'm suspected this is probably a fake screenshot. I've looked through VMWare's web site and can't find anything about upcoming support for the Mac OS X. I suspect this is just a rumor based on the fact that Apple has announced their plans to move to Intel-based processors.

However, the fact that Apple is making this move, it would see feasible that you could write a virtual machine to emulate the Apple specific hardware. It sure would be nice to be able to open up an Mac OS VM to test sites on the Mac. ;)

Darin Kadrioski's Gravatar Yup, It's done using PearPC. In fact, that exact screenshot is up on the site: http://www.pearpc.net/screenshots.php

VMWare is the best way to manage a PearPC setup, IMHO... but it's not required.
