Many Windows users would also like to try Mac OS X operating system that runs on Apple computers. There are some ways how to do it, but in our opinion, the easiest one is to install OS X in some virtualization software, like VMware Workstation.

By default, VMware Workstation doesn't officially support virtualization of Mac OS X. However, other third party developers created unofficial update that adds Mac OS X profiles to VMware settings, which allows users to install Mac OS X without Chromeleon, or other Apple Mac boot emulators.

How to run Mac OS X in VMware Workstation

We have tried to run last version of Mac OS X (Mountain Lion - build 10.8.) in VMware Workstation.

Other system requirements to run virtualized Mac OS X are:

Intel dual core processor with Intel VT-x hardware virtualization, 2GB RAM, 15GB free HDD space, NVIDIA, or ATI GPU.

Step 1 - Download and install VMware Workstation

VMware Workstation is commercial software, but you can try fully functional time limited demo version which is available on the official VMware website. It is recommended to download and install Workstation version 8.

Step 2 - Download Mac OS X installation image

We have tried already prepared Mac OS X Mountain Lion virtual machine created by Soul Dev Team. The archive (OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 Retail VMware Image) contains virtual machine with pre-installed Mac OS X and other utilities to customize VMware Workstation. Download it from Soul Dev Team website and unpack archive to your hard drive.

Step 3 - Customize VMware Workstation

Open the archive and go to the VMware Workstation Unlocker - Windows subfolder.
