is osx sever allow in a virtual machine

Simply put, you said I misunderstood a post that you selectively quoted, leaving out the second half of the post which clearly states his point isn't just Apple is a hardware company. He is saying because they are a hardware company, they aren't going to write software to run OSX in VMWare on a non-Apple platform. In other words, he doesn't understand how VMWare works.

I wish you would not try to tell me what I know and do not know. I have used VMware (first about 10 years ago). At work, most of the systems I develop software for, run on virtual machines or hardware para-vitalization (Linux, Windows, Solaris (SPARC & X64), AIX). I really do understand what a virtual machine is. I know people that work for VMware (I even once attended a VMware picnic as a guest, and we talked "Shop").

Maybe I should have said, that Apple is not in the business of licensing its software to run on non-Apple hardware. It is really what I meant when I said "writing software for other PC vendor's products".

Why yes, yes you should have said that, instead of what you did say, which doesn't say what you said above at all.
