Coming from
windows development, there you can test your apps using VMware on a
different flavor of windows.

How is this achieved on the Mac?

Keeping in mind that there *are* reasons to test on various hardware configurations as well, if you're concerned about just testing various OS versions I've found that it's sufficient to keep around a FireWire HD with a different OS version on each partition and just boot from the one I want to test.

It seems that newer hardware refuses to boot from older OS versions.
E.g. my white MacBook (2 weeks old) absolutely refuses to boot from Tiger.



Kind regards,

Gerriet.
