Has anyone had success on putting OS X on VMWare? I have been successful, but it ran awfully slowly.

There is an image my buddy got me. it runs ok you got to turn off some stuff but its workable a little slow. i used it to install IOS betas on my IPT. it was OSX 10.5

I had Snow Leo image on VMware 7.0
it also lagged

Have you tried it on VMware Workstation 8.0 Beta?

i think it works at VMware Workstation 8.0 Beta..
or VMware 8.0 latest?

I've got OS X Lion working on VMWare Workstation 8 - video drivers are pretty crap but besides that it works fine.

that's the result

Personally after many tries I succeded in installing OSX leopard on vmWare, it's not so slow, but I had some problems with drivers and network.. eventually I solved but took me a lot of time and an usb network card...
I would suggest to get some VmWare image as it's much simpler and avoids many problems and patches you have to install ecc... and those I tried runs smooth and great (only some issue with the audio driver that is laggy )

I found on google an image of OSX 10.6 that has ENG-RUS language, this one for me is the best I could get as it's fast and reliable, network and usb work correctly and can be run also without virtualization...

I have a vanilla install of OS X Lion running in VMWare Workstation 7. No lag or anything. The only issue is that sound doesn't work, but I can live with that.

yesterday i've been try OSx 10.5..on VMware 8 Beta.. the system perfectly work's accept the DWM on graphic have somethin not right

For VMware 7, try that darwin.iso thing. If it doesn't boot and verbose gives a SMC related message (what it did for me), patch your vmware-vmx(.exe) - google for VMware donk patch.

I got Server 10.5 working on VMware Fusion but then again that's allowed to do that.

Could never get Lion to work, despite following the instructions to the letter.

i've Lion in vmware downloaded from imodzone

I had a beta of Mac OS X but I have never been able to master because it was slow tros

Well, you can officially install OS X Lion within the VMWare, but only on an Apple Hardware. The licensing permits that you install a Linux or a Windows OS in an Apple Hardware, and within VMWare / Parallels / VirtualBox, you install your official version of Mac OS X Lion.

You can do the same with a not Apple Hardware, just cracking the VMWare, to it thinks that you are trying to install the OS X Lion in an Apple Hardware... but you need a Intel processor, this don't work with an AMD processor.

And, there is no Video Drive, or Sound Drive for virtualized OS X. But you can run everything within it.

Yes I have installed OSX on Vmware, it actually pretty fast at bootup and preformance! but maybe im lucky with my hardware! Try OSX Kalaway
