Apple Mac OS X Mavericks inside Virtual Box
- by John Sonderson
I have a few questions regarding Mac OS X and OS virtualization.
A.
Given all the legal restrictions imposed by Apple on Apple products,
I would like to know whether it is legal to install the new and freely
downloadable Apple Mac OS X Mavericks inside Oracle Virtual Box.
B.
What about older OS X versions such as Mountain Lion?
C.
How many machines can I install it on. What if I don't use the Mac to
which the OS is downloaded but only use it on Virtual Box, and prefer
to, say, install Linux on the Mac computer so that it doesn't become
unusable due to the single user license policy and me running the
OS on Windows 7 within Virtual Box?
D.
I have a PC running Windows 7 but would like to get the OS off a second
had Mac I'm planning to purchase for this purpose. How must we proceed
to copy the OS to an ISO so that I can install it on Windows 7?
I am unfamiliar with Macs and do not know what software to use
for the purpose, nor where the OS is downloaded to (as an ISO,
.app executable, .gz or .zip file or whatever). If anyone could
provide some guidance with the process I would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks.
