[LUG] Mac OSX on Virtual Machine?

 

Hi all,

The newer Macs are not that different to a "bog standard" x86 PC, with
the notable exception of the fact that they have an EFI instead of a
BIOS, no?

If that is the case, would it be that hard for people like VirtualBox
(now owned by Sun, isn't it?) to virtualise an EFI much like the BIOS
is on current VirtualBox systems, and therefor allow Mac OSX to
install/run in a VM on non-Mac systems?

Or is there more to it?

Cheers.
Grant. :)
