Running Snow Leopard in 7

A website has posted 10 steps on how to install a Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system in Windows 7.

To start off the process, a user need to download and install a software which is VMware Workstation 7. Also, there are two files that need to be downloaded.

VMware Workstation is the program that was used in the guide to install the Apple OS. There are five screen shots included in the article to help a user choose where and what option to press/choose.

This is for Intel chips only as I understand it. If you run AMD processors this won’t work.

Links, links, links. There is nothing so useless as reading an article with a great tip just to have to go hunting the net to find that actual software.

Although I can find VMware Workstation fairly easily on the VM website, you will have readers of all technical abilities reading your blog who may not have these skills.

Man what a bunch of whiny little girls commenting above me. It took me all of 2 seconds to click the link that was so hard for the rest of you to find. It is: Source: Redmond Pie

Wow! Technibble misleads us right to the friggin article that tells you how to easily install Snow Leopard.
Imagine that! A LINK in a blog post that takes you to another web site with words and pictures and stuff.

Stephen the knucklehead needs spoon-feeding as he apparently cannot understand that: The summary above “summarizes” the article in the link (also above) perfectly well.
I fail to see how he can “find vmware easily” but could not understand the plain english “10 steps on how to install a Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system in Windows 7.” and then click the link provided and follow that same linked article’s instructions.

Here is my experience AFTER I CLICKED THE LINK: Source: Redmond Pie

Install went great! I didn’t follow the steps exactly.
I used a DMG image, which mounted fine in VMware without conversion, rather than a DVD.
I didn’t format the virtual hard drive, I just let the install do what it wanted.
I ran the Apple Software Update. Rebooted and all is well.
Streaming video works, sound didn’t work but because I’m not a whiny little girl who needs spoon-feeding, I looked around the file I downloaded from step 2 in the article at the other end of the link Technibble graciously provides. Guess what I found?! A sound driver!!! Who would have thought?

Now I have sound in my Virtual Snow Leapord and all within an hour. Now I can start developing for iphone. My first app is going to be called STK in honor of Stephen.

Hey Technibble. I’ve wanted an easy Snow Leopard Howto and you found it for me. Thanks a Million!
