Do you have any more info on that?

Last time I looked you needed a hacked version of the os to get it installed.
You also need an EFI boot disk to get around various BIOS issues. The latest OS
X Server CAN be virtualised according to the license agreement but is expensive.
I am not aware that virtualising OS X desktop is a straightforward affair,
although I would be happy for you to prove me wrong.
