Legit VMWARE OSX on Win?

[falconmick]

I was wondering, is there a legitimate way to run OSX on my windows 7 64bit laptop? I ask this as I cant afford to buy two seperate laptops and my main priority is Windows 7 as I use it more intensively so I didn't want to have to run it in a virtual machine.

So is there a legitimate way to buy OSX and install on vmware so that I can develope Iphone applications?

THere is no legit way

The EULA from Apple states that OSX can only be run on an Apple made machine

Simply put, no there is not. You'll need to buy at least some kind of fairly-recent Mac.

It could be a new(ish) or refurb Mac mini, for example, well under $700 if you look around, or even an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook of anything back to 2007 vintage. My 2007 machine would probably sell for $300 if that.

Another alternative that I personally think would be the best idea is to sell your Windows 7 64bit laptop, buy a Mac (your pick) and install Windows 7 64-bit on it.

Sorry, we don't discuss illegal activity on this forum.

We're done here.
