VirtualBox 3.0: An easy way to mix and match operating systems - http://www.computerworld.com/s...
denise, Tim Hoeck, Mats Halldin and 3 other people liked this
"Whether you prefer Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X, you can probably get almost everything you need done with your chosen OS. However, sometimes a task demands an OS that you are not currently using. That's where virtualization programs like Sun Microsystem's VirtualBox 3.0 come in. What is it? VirtualBox is an open-source virtualization program which lets you run guest operating systems with your native desktop operating system. For instance, if you need Windows to run Quicken, but prefer Linux for all your other work, VirtualBox enables you to bring up Windows and Quicken without leaving your Linux desktop......"

Is it possible to run Mac OS X as a virtual OS on Windows/Linux?
- Victor Ryden
Doubtful.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Nope...
- angrykeyboarder™ (Scott)
The only way VBox works with OS X is when OS X is the host OS.
- angrykeyboarder™ (Scott)
I run it from both Linux and Windows 7 and run FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows XP and several Linux distros as guest OSes. I'm an OS Junkie. :0) Too bad I can't afford a Mac.....
- angrykeyboarder™ (Scott)
Would you believe that I use VirtualBox in order to do just that, run Quicken in Linux.
- Miss Elle
@Victor .. VBox no, VMWare/VMWare Player, yes.

Mac4Lin brings OS X eye candy to Linux - http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009...
Acevedo Oscar, FENG, Jason Huebel and 6 other people liked this
"Mac4Lin works on a variety of Linux flavors, including Ubuntu 9.04 and GNOME 2.26, but there's no KDE version (yet). A lot of third-party apps that use GTK for skinning, like Firefox and Songbird, look great in Mac4Lin. An unstall script is also included in the latest version, in case you decent you don't like the OS X look, and you'd rather go back to your default UI."

Nah... making m GNU/Linux system looks like MacOS X? No way. If I wanted this, I would buy the real deal. I don't like OS X, that's why I use Linux.
- Ryo
I like OS X, but I'd choose Gnome on Linux. It's pretty, too -- just in a different way.
- Chris Baskind
I disapprove of making one operating system look like another. Small inconsistencies in the user interface between the real thing and the imitation will drive the user crazy as he attempts to do EVERYTHING in the manner that the real operating system would do.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
What kind of eye candy does Mac have that Linux doesn't already?
- Tanath
I think it's beautiful :)
- Alejandro
Why is eye candy necessary when I'm just going to work with one application maximized all the time?
- Morton Fox
Morton: You work with one application maximized all the time? I usually work with two or three.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Yes, something is always maximized. That's why I didn't even set a desktop background.
- Morton Fox
Does it mimic Mac keyboard shortcuts too? Or is it just a superficial skin?
- Paul Grav
Tim: There are many themes available. Add in compiz, and Linux is arguably ahead of Windows & Mac.
