Server Virtualization

As a virtual machine in VMWare or Parallels? And if so, can we run it from Tiger?

Apple has changed the end user agreement in the server version of Leopard to state that it can now be run in a Virtual Machine.

This implies you can run Leopard Server unhacked on a generic PC.

What exactly did they say?

It says and I quote:

"This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the "Mac OS X Server Software") on a single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software."

Yes, apple has removed the karma check from leopard for this.

Well, when someone tells me how well it works through Windows, I'll try it.

You totally missed the point:

"This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the "Mac OS X Server Software") on a single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software."

......?

Very good!

Hackintosh+Leo Server(virtualized) means a lot of good services running on a cheap x86 machine (maybe a good sse2) on one of the less "cracked" platform around.

Sftp,smtp,Ftp,DNS....mmmhh.Delicious!

Ok, so the license does not really tell us exactly what the mechanism of running multiple copies of OS X Server on a Mac is supposed to be. I wonder if they have built visualization into OS X Server itself, so like the first installation is like a master installation over which can run virtual OS X Server machines.
