Now that we are able to virtualize OS X (legally), has anyone done any testing to see if Casper is able to manage these VM instances?

Also has anyone been able to select Portable Casper Drive as target startup disk within the VM?

PS, relevance...trying to see if any of our development work can be done in a virtualized environment.

Thanks,
Don

    This will actually be very handy for packaging (revert to a clean machine)
    and testing, although I'm sure some have been doing this practice all
    along while...how does Judas Priest put it..."Breaking the law, breaking
    the law"

    I have thus far done 'virtually' nothing (har har) with Lion, and avoiding
    it almost as long as I can, I'm hoping October. You've all been doing a
    wonderful job of sorting this Lion business out and giving me the heads up
    in the mean time. So for that I will thank you all for bleeding for me.

    Sorry for the delayed response, just got back from a road trip, so catching up.

    I know folks were virtualizing Snow Leopard for some time...

    VMWare Fusion 4 and Parallels Desktop For Mac 7 don't seem to support Snow Leopard. Heart breaker...we're not going to be packaging anything for Lion for months.
