Although the FAQs does say Mac OS-X is not supported on Virtial server 2005
rumour is there "maybe" a work around or Virtual Server 2007 might support
it. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Virtual Server 2005 does not support any Mac OS as a guest and there's no
such thing as Virtual Server 2007, so the answer is still no.

It won't work. There's no support for EFI, just BIOS.

I've not heard any rumors that OS X wil run on Virtual Server, or
Virtual Server 2007.

Besides which the Apple EULA precludes running OS X on non Apple
hardware. Apple hardware includes a component, functionally the
equivalent of a TPM module to prevent this.

The EULA for Leopard Server does not preclude running it in a VM on
Apple hsrdware. You would have to install Windows XP or 2003 in Boot
Camp mode, then Virtual Server and if you install it, you can be
licensed to run OS X Server. I say "if you can install it" because OS X
normally requires an EFI pre-boot enviroment which Virtual Server does
not provide.

Vey interesting, Richard. Opens up interesting possibilities for Server
2008 and Hyper-V!
