How come with neither of the two big players (Parallels and Fusion) is it possible to run OS X itself virtualised?

Surely it should be something quite simple to achieve (like Windows on VPC) or am I missing something major?

Do you want to run OSX in Windows or in OSX? ie, I run 10.4.11 in VMfusion on 10.5.3!?

Apple don't allow third parties to virtualize OS X.

It will allow to virtualize Mac OS X Server on Fusion (installed on Mac OS X Server) or in Parallels Server (Installed on Mac OS X Server).

Fixed your post to be more correct.
