[X4U] Lion, iCloud, Seamless Integration?

[Andrew Lynch]

Hmmm..  I just tried this, and it would not let me since I did not have an OSX Server install disk.  Apparently the license agreement prevents virtualizing OSX client.  You need OSX server.  There appear to be workarounds, but they seem a bit iffy.

I'll probably either keep my old mac mini as a snow leopard machine when I replace it (won't run lion anyway) or install snow leopard on an external hard drive and boot from it as needed.  That, or I may just dump Quicken, which is the only real problem for me.

Cheers,
   Drew

I've threatened to try and resurrect either my 8500/180 or G4/450AGP.  I just hate the idea of a 2nd box anymore. With my Mac Pro I can finally run all my Mac, UNIX, and Windows apps on the same box, at the same time.
