What about running OSX in Windows?

#1 Post by albo » Fri May 23, 2008 9:21 am

Hi Folks,

There are a couple apps I'd like to run in OSX (papers, final cut pro). So rather than running windows in OSX, i'd love to run OSX in windows on my T43. I'm quite sure this can't be done, but, wanted to make sure.

Failing this, perhaps I'll make the OSX leap at some point in the distant future. Are OS upgrades an issue, once one has customized OSX to work on their particular Thinkpad? Sounds like they're not...

Thanks! Go Team!

I am guessing since Microsoft acquired them....

But whats funny is the first time I heard of Virtual PC was for use on an old school Mac to run Windows on a MAC - Hence the name Virtual "PC".
