But I’m talking about real Mac. As I said earlier installation is not very easy since both OS hardware platform requirements are different, Mac can be installed on Virtual PC on your PC.
To make the installation easy, in other word “to avoid the Mac installation”, we will just import the Mac OS pre-installed hard disk to your PC using VMware. Don’t be more confused, follow the below easy steps. Here are the requirements, Software Requirements for Install Mac on VMware Virtual PC software. Several virtual PC software available, but this method goes with VMware workstation since we will be using VMware hard disk image. VMware workstation 6 or more you can download the VMware workstation at VMware site.

Even if you have Dual processor and have option to select two processors in VMware option, DO NOT change to two. Leave the Processors 1 only. Do not worry about Hard disk allocation 30GB.
You can increase the memory size if you have memory resource in your computer. 7) That’s it click ‘Power on this virtual machine’. Now you should be able to see Mac OS. In case your Mac stuck with following welcome screen for long time, You must disable ‘Intel Hardware Virtualization’ from your BIOS.

The vmrun utility runs on any platform with VIX libraries installed.
It is installed in Workstation by default. In non-standard filesystem configurations, an attacker with the ability to place files into a predefined library path could take execution control of vmrun. This issue is present only in the version of vmrun that runs on Linux Because Workstation failed to identify more than 10 USB host controllers in newer Windows guests, some USB devices did not appear in the Removable Devices menu. Now Workstation shows all USB devices in the Removable Devices menu as long as they are connected to the first identified 16 USB controllers The Easy Install feature did not work for Fedora 14 guest operating systems.
