Wow, it’s all happening at Apple, iCloud and now Mac OS X 10.7 Lion in July 2011!

I’ve just an email reminding me that Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, is available from July 2011.  So I thought I’d blog this now.

Oddly, when I try to un Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on VMware Player 3.1.4, I get the following error message!

Mac OS X Lion 10.7 running under VMware Player 3.1.4 'This is not a MAC'

Mac OS X Lion 10.7 running under VMware Player 3.1.4 'This is not a MAC'

More work required, when trying Mac OS X Lion 10.7, I get the error message “The guest operating system is not Mac OS X Server”.

You can also use the FREE VMware Player 3.1.4. to also install and run Mac OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. rather than VMware Workstation 7.1.4. But you’ll not have all the additional features that VMware Workstation 7.1.4 has included. VMware Player can play only one virtual machine at a time. You must close the virtual machine currently running in VMware Player before you can open another, also Snapshots are not supported in VMware Player.

Mac OS X Virtualization Part III – Install Mac OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

In this final part, I look at virtualising Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on VMware Workstation 7.1.4. I don’t forsee any issues, with this as I’ve had Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard running on VMware Workstation 6.5.3.

Over the next few days, I look at using the FREE VMware Player 3.0 to also virtualise and use these Mac OS X operating systems.
