They are running the tools in a virtual machine so as far as the  
software is aware it is running on a Mac..

Would LiveCode for iOS work in such an environment?

True, the software would not know the difference, but the user definitely
would because it would be prohibitively slow in a vm.  I googled
tonymac, and found that people apparently are running directly on i5 and
i7 machines with the OS installed directly from purchased retail install
media.  Due to Apple licensing restrictions, one can't use such a system in
a business, but it is quite interesting what is technically possible.

Roger, 

Have you some disappointing experience running vms? My own experience running 
VirtualBox is that the guest OSs 
run quite snappily. I cannot recommend that one rely on a virtualized OS for 
development purposes because 
certain OS features are bound to be tied to hardware features that the vm won't 
provide. That said, for many 
purposes, including some kinds of testing during development, they are very 
usable and useful indeed. 

Best,

Warren

A few years ago, I remember seeing a video of Leopard running in a vm, maybe
even Snow Leopard. It could not utilise quartz/core graphics, and the
hard-drive was not a real partition, there was no 3D acceleration or access
to the video card, so it made the overall system appear slow.  But according
to what the tonymac people are saying, it doesn't have to be this way. They
seem to now have it running natively on brand new i7 machines with high-end
video cards.

The Hackintosh is not a great secret, and indeed there is no reason for OS X 
not to run beautifully on non-
Apple hardware once the issues of booting and certain drivers are overcome, but 
the question was regarding 
performance within a virtual machine. I do not suffer any serious degree of 
slowness running any OS inside a 
virtual machine here. I don't particularly encourage the venture proposed by 
the OP, and am very disturbed by 
the preoccupation of the author of the article he references with avoided 
paying what are legitimate fees, but 
my experience does not support your prediction. I think the sort of statement 
you make presents unwarranted 
discouragement to those who may otherwise find virtualization a very useful and 
convenient tool for certain 
purposes.

What I find most curious about the original post, is how does the OP propose to 
implement this if he cannot 
also test it? It makes me think of a post I saw the other day in a forum, Here 
fishy fishy...


Best,

Warren

*What I find most curious about the original post, is how does the OP

Unfortunately at the moment I cannot meet the
requirementshttp://techexxpert.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-virtualize-os-x-on-windows-7.htmlto
test the setup, for I don't have the hardware or the software to do
that.

That's exactly why I posted at this forum. If I come to the conclusion that
the setup works, I will invest some money in hardware and software.

Please notice that I did not propose to implement anything.

Best regards,

Hyberson

Agreed.

As I stated, the only vm of OS X that I have seen was 'years' ago.  If it
has been improved, and you find it useful, that is great news!  I sincerely
hope Apple someday will encourage everyone to buy a copy.  I think
eventually, they will.  I only discourage using without paying.

 Warren
