It's also my personal choice to buy Apple hardware to run it on, I just prefer it - much the same as I would buy an Alienware pc if I ever wanted a PC again..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

IIRC the OS X EULA forbids it being run on non-Apple harware - whether under a VM or not.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Microsoft are a software company. Apple are a manufacturer of computer systems. Microsoft develop an operating system as their core product, and invest time and money in making it run on commodity hardware of widely varying specifications. Apple develop an operating system specifically optimised to run on their comparatively small, but precisely specified, range of hardware.
If Apple choose to licence their OS on the basis that it may only be used on their hardware, it's not being stingy - it's a reflection of their business model.Comment
