I hadn't thought of that. I was wrongly assuming doing this on a non Apple device. Duh!
In any case I would not fully trust the results. :-)

That's not allowed under the OS X licensing terms.
yes it is. If you have OS X Server 10.5 or later you can use it in a VM (as long as the VM is itself running on a Mac). You can get the server installers via Developer Connection if you are a member.
This is what I do to test 10.5.x and previous 10.6 installations off a recent(ish) MacBook Pro

How to test Application in different versions of OS X if I have single Mac?
You can partition your drive and/or add an external drive, and install other versions of Mac OS X to those additional partitions/drives. Then, you can boot from whichever you like by holding down the Option (a.k.a. Alt) key at the boot chime.
However, there's an important caveat: you can't boot a version of Mac OS X that's older than the hardware. If you have a brand new Mac, you can't boot Tiger or Leopard. Those earlier versions of the OS don't include the necessary drivers for the hardware.
So, you may need to buy an older Mac to support this testing scenario.

Ken
