![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Create a new Mac OS X 10.5 Server 64-bit (the default setting) virtual Machine (VM) in VMware Fusion don't start it, then quit Fusion. ![]() Now, assuming you have a machine-specific Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger DVD for Intel, and want to try to run this operating system as a virtual machine through VMware Fusion 2.x, on the same computer upgraded to Leopard? Well, let's try to do this in an as simple way as possibile, from within Mac OS X 10.5.x Leopard. So, Apple, it would really be a great thing to permit virtualization of *all* your Intel-compatible OSes, both server and client, starting from Tiger and upwards. So, why would one hypothetically want to do all this? Well, it could be very good for running legacy, up-to-Tiger-only programs (see, for example, Photoshop 7, which won't run on Leopard etc.) and/or for testing software in a Tiger/Intel environment, without being forced to have a partition dedicated to Tiger. So, let's take it only as an - I hope interesting - exercise to understand things a little better. First of all, this hint (which is based on some very good previous hints appearing here) is only of academic interest, almost as a proof of concept, for now (at least until Apple will change their licensing terms). ![]()
