This makes me want to pull out my SE/30, the one with 8 MB of RAM and a Nubus ethernet card which we used as a web server back in college, and turn it into a tweet terminal. Of course, I would then also need a twitter account...
"and Twitter... self-consciously modern online service that would've seemed ridiculous in the age of the Bondi Blue iMac."
riiiight, because the concept of running ones own personal BBS that is linked up with other peoples BBS's was just totally alien to our primitive minds back then... #grackle68k
A little part of me enjoyed going back to 9.2.2 for a little while on my cobalt iMac. Of course, the thing was mainly just a word processor and DVD player, but it was nice. #grackle68k
Great article, I personally use VMware Fusion but Virtualbox is an excellent free alternative.
Mac OS X Server is currently the only version of OSX that can be (legally) virtualized, and only on Mac hardware. If you want to run Mac OS X desktop in a virtual machine, it's definitely hackintosh time.
How would I go about making a Virtualized copy of Windows Server 2003? I have a key/iso through MSDNAA and I wanted to play with it a little bit before I start building my server from scratch. (I'm undecided between Linux and Windows Server ATM) #virtualizationhowto
One common [dream] scenario - for me - is to migrate from XP or Vista by first installing Windows 7 in a virtual machine and getting everything to run smoothly, and then to move the OS from the virtual machine to the host PC.
a) It would be nice to know whether it is possible to move a Virtual Box image to become a natively installed operating system.
b) I wish the article would give information on whether all drives of the host machine (in my case, a PC) are available to the virtual machine, and whether there is a way to access the virtual machine's drive[s] from the host system.
@rneugebauer000: a) I don't think this is possible. You could theoretically restore your virtual partition, bit-by-bit, to your main machine, but the installed drivers, among other things, would be all wrong.
b) You can share any folder in the host OS with the guest OS. This is pretty great. #virtualizationhowto

I'm in the age of the unibody aluminum iMac and I still think Twitter is ridiculous. #grackle68k

agreed. i signed up for twitter, mostly just to secure the user name. can't figure out why anyone would bother to use it for anything.
if every day narcissism is a glass of wine, twitter is crack cocaine. #grackle68k

I've seen plenty of people running Windows in Mac OS.
BUT how do I run OS X in a virtual machine? Is it done? Does it have to be a hackentosh install disk. I need details. #virtualizationhowto

VirtualBox probably works as a host too, but I have not tried it. #virtualizationhowto

For example, can a 50 GB virtual machine file be located on a FW400 external HD? What about a 16GB thumb drive?
