Re: why virtualization

After some back and forth, VMware ultimately said that while what
Apple VPs say on the subject is fine, they need Apple to change the

if that's just an excuse or a legitimate concern or a combination of
the two. I had hoped (before it was known to not be the case) that
Leopard (or at least Leopard Server) itself would have some kind of
virtualization capability, but alas, it doesn't look like we'll get
virtualization of Mac OS X/Mac OS X Server anytime soon, even on
Apple hardware. :-/

Just curious about this thread. What exactly is this thread about? What and why is this important or disappointing? I understand VMWare, Parallels, etc allowing "virtual" environments of non-Mac OSes. But I don't understand why I would want a virtual Mac OS environment in a Mac OS environment. Well, I can see some people still holding on to some pre-OS X software that they "have to have" and needing the Classic environment (or at least thinking they do) and there is software or ten year old Mac's still running for that.


Excuse my ignorance or flame me if you must, I have thick skin and was always told the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. So I'm asking.

If you want a Sandbox, or a jail like in Freebsd, it`s perhaps a way. it should do no harm to the rest of your installation.
that was my point of view at the beginning of the thread.
