just curious if anyone tried running any Apple OS on Virtual Machine? in specific VirtualBox? I know Apple only created it's OS to run only on Apple hardwares but would be awesome if one can run on Virtual Machines for testing and fiddling around

VirtualBox has a "Mac OS X Server as VM type.
If you have a Mac OS X distro, you can try it....
I have bought no Mac, so I have no Mac OS X media. :unsure:

lol yeah i was actually thinking of buying one "cough cough".... Apple should have a FREE/Light version of it's OS for people to test, it might assist in fueling in more customers, not that they need more from their current success in the i-gadgets

No need of a free or a trial version.
A mac is a very special combination of hardware and software.
In the current industrial world, virtualization arises as a necessary mean of optimizing system resources.
So, some "virtual" mac servers will have to arrive on the market.
However, for most of needs, the customers will not have to be convinced, they know that they need a mac, and they will buy one. No need to test in order to be convinced.
If you are not a mac user, too bad, we are sorry for you.

i think that's one of the success of apple products... their hardware-software tightness ensures optimal performance, where software utilizes the full capabilities of the hardware....
