    Re: What Is VMWARE ? pls help

    Just a suggestion: start with VMWare Server (but only version 1.0.9 or before). I have used all of VMWare's products (yes, even ESX and VirtualCenter), as well as VirtualBox and Virtual PC. VMWare is easily the best. If you get VMWare Server before version 2.0, it looks exactly like VMWare workstation. If you work with it for a while and find you like it, you can easily upgrade to the more difficult 2.0 or above, or you can purchase VMWare Workstation. When they say that you can't run Mac OS X in any virtualization software, they are pretty much right. Running OS X in VMWare can be done (I've got an 10.5 vm), but it is really difficult and you have to do some pretty severe modifications to the OS. Mac OSes expect to find an EFI environment, but any PC or virtual PC will present a BIOS environment, because that is something that IBM-compatible PCs expect. It is a technicial problem, not anti-pirating by Apple.

    You nailed the main reason why installing OS-X is difficult. Though higher end PCs have support for EFI (my gaming PC will support it given I flash the board with new software), we're still using the age old BIOS setup. There are people out there who would like to see all PCs move to EFI.

    Thats right!

    VMware software provides a completely virtualized set of hardware to the guest operating system. VMware software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters. The host provides pass-through drivers for guest USB, serial, and parallel devices. In this way.
