Hmm... I wonder if I can do this on Hyper-V. I'm going to start googling.

Not sure on Hyper-V, I do have it running on ESXi, VM Player and a couple OSX Latitudes. The real shame is apple not letting you VM OSX legally unless on OSX

Let's face it: the real shame is just plain Apple policies in general.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

You know what, I would try Apple's OS in a VM. One of the things that I don't like about them is they all cry and complain about how Microsoft Office or Photoshop or Lightroom or whatever doesn't come out as quick for the Max as it does for the PC (hint, it has something to do with your TINY market share), then they turn right around and make their stuff ONLY run on their OS and/or hardware. Like their solution to Lightroom, only runs on a Mac. And while nearly ever other OS can be happily and fairly easily set up to run as a VM, Mac is the exception.

Steve Jobs was the worst at this. He had no problem stealing other people's work, but had a fit if anyone took his idea or even wanted to open the back of their phone to change the battery. He could also with a straight face get up in front of a crowd and declare his product as the best browsing experience ever, even though it doesn't do flash. But I guess that's OK, not many sites use flash, right? Funny thing was the cool-aide drinking fans drank it all in and rushed to a store to stand in line.

I don't stand in lines! Just watch me when I leave Costco!

Will look at seeing if I can find a vid to xenconvetor if I can get it working can package up the premade xenvm for you.

While I do find a use for the apple os you will notice my 2 physical OSX units are Dells and then have 2 apple VMs mostly for support some apple family users but also do like MacTheRipper for DVD RIPS

Costco wants you to wait in a line to LEAVE the store. No %#&^ way am I waiting in a line to leave a place with MY stuff. Once they accepted my payment, ownership of the product shifted to me and I have no legal responsibility to show them anything! I also don't show my receipt at Fry's, Best Buy or Wal-Mart!

Me too pcdoc. Other than Virtualbox, I am only running a Hyper-V server right now. Xenserver was fun to play with and I liked it a lot, but I just don't have a need for it right now. All my Linux VM's just run in Virtualbox on my desktop. Always had trouble remote deskoping into a Linux VM.

Sounds like we have a mission. This would make for a great video and a podcast... I am down to only using Hyper-V. Kind of stopped using ESXi. Not because there was anything wrong with it but rather I am going to donate the hardware to my daughter. Her system is getting a bit old and needs an upgrade. Testing ESXi/Windows 8/Server 8 on a 2500 with 16 gigs and a GTX 560 was a bit of an overkill so it will be better served with her. I am going to take her older hardware and use that as test system for Window 8 and Server 8.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't asked you to relinquish your membership card. My son worked there for a while and told me of it happening to a couple of people.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

Well, they would have to figure out who I am and since I have no obligation to tell them, they will not know unless they do some digging. I feel no obligation to stand in line to leave a place with my stuff. If they want to see the receipt for the stuff I have, I want to see my money again.

I should start a podcast about all my "issues", this is just one of them.

It may be, but that is not law, just their policy. Hey, how about I make up a policy that says if they ask for my receipt at the door they owe me $20. I need a t-shirt that says "My policy is I don't follow your Policy". Just remember, once they accept payment from me for their goods ownership changes hands and I have no legal obligation to show them anything. Not my receipt, not my ID or even my membership card. The only thing they can do is review their tapes and try and determine who I am and then cancel my membership, and that's just Costco or Sams Club. Wal-Mart, Frys or Best Buy have no memberships to cancel.
