eg: I'm not sure it's accurate to say it won't install/activate on virtualized hardware. It's rather that virtualized instances often doesn't report all hardware accurately/correctly, particularly if you're using a 3rd party EFI layer. For what it's worth, 4.0.3 installs and activates on VMWare 7.x on PC if you use Donk's boot ISO for EFI (google it) but the popular darwin_snow.iso is incomplete and is enough to boot OSX, but not enough to allow MT to activate.
Of course, I didn't say this, and I don't condone it, nor run it. A bearded 400 pound lemur told me. --------------------- that said, dont expect xcode to work. or to get any support from xamarin (which is rather useful in and of itself)... Why not just use the mac you have? With a PC keyboard or something?
