Coming from
windows development, there you can test your apps using VMware on a
different flavor of windows.
How is this achieved on the Mac?
Keeping in mind that there *are* reasons to test on various hardware
configurations as well, if you're concerned about just testing
various OS versions I've found that it's sufficient to keep around a
FireWire HD with a different OS version on each partition and just
boot from the one I want to test.
It seems that newer hardware refuses to boot from older OS versions.
E.g. my white MacBook (2 weeks old) absolutely refuses to boot from
Tiger.
Generally true. On the other hand, I should hope that when people are
formulating their system requirements they're actually testing on the
low-end of what they claim to support, and that would tend to be a
machine that *is* capable of running the oldest OS they support as well.
