People on HN don't seem to like it when some other companies start their product from one platform.

Nor do they like it when they do support all platforms from day one via an Electron app...

Speaking of which, I'm a little shocked to see a Mozilla thread that doesn't yet mention Pocket or the rebranding or DoH. That must mean we are in a good mood?

We're busy prepping to argue about UBI at Thanksgiving dinner.

When that platform is Mac, certainly. For some mysterious reason you don't see complaints about Linux-only utilities :)

you can virtualize linux, you cannot virtualize macos.

no, downloading sketchy images or hacking your virtualization software does not count.

You can, and it’s licensed to.

Since Lion:

No hassle support page on VMware site:

EDIT: Amusingly on topic with gist of thread above, anger about a dev tool launched for MacOS, this fact with citations from license and support page from VMware garnered instant down votes.

Well if you can only virtualize it on a computer that's already running macos I don't know how that's supposed to help.

You can virtualize on a PC. Whether you may or not, depends whether you believe you own software.

And how it helps when you do it on MacOS on Mac hardware is letting you do all the things you virtualize an OS for, from a fine GUI on a decent kernel.

> all the things you virtualize an OS for

One of the main things I "virtualize an OS for" is to use software that requires Platform A on a system that runs Platform B. Running "legit" (authorized) virtualized MacOS does not help me do that; I am only allowed to run Platform A on Platform A.

I think we'd just like to have it labelled "for Mac Only right now"
