I thought you could only run Mac VMs on a Mac host. Has that changed, or did you hack VMware somehow?

Our automation group has a couple of maxed out trash cans just for Mac VMs. The IT department probably can't wait to replace them with the new rackmounts.

As other said it, there is unlocker for VMWare which allows you to have Mac OS as option when creating a new virtual machine.

As for hacking VMWare I got my hands on a official Mountain Lion image years ago, directly from Apple, which I used to copy/upgrade into new VM each time a new Mac OS was released. I have lying around cca 15 VM's with different flavors of Mac OS each, all tests for various projects for my clients.

Legally you can only run them on Mac hardware, even if it's a windows/linux OS.

As for technically, it's possible. I believe you either have to edit some file or run a patcher to get it to run MacOS though.
