Huh? I thought Apple managed to create a X86 compatible version of the OS. Does that mean although it could run on a native X86 hardware (VM) then it's forbidden by the MAC-OS EULA when I buy the MAC-OS software? So why do they sell it then as standalone product?

I don't know people with a MAC unfortunately. And those I meet that have one won't allow me VNC on it... for sure. ;-)

LOL - that would be an option, indeed.
Ps.: We are getting quite off-topic... sorry.

I didn't download the 4861 build, but in the 4866 build I still have to do "Re-parse now" to get the symbols in my Default workspace parsed after startup. (Windows XP)

They did, yes. Unofficially in 2001 and officially since 2005... (Mac OS X version 10.4.4)

Yup.

So that people who bought a Mac with a previous OS version pre-installed can upgrade ?
thomas:
Is it just me, or is Apple even more abusive than Microsoft? You'd think they'd be happy if anyone buys their crap at all, but apparently not.
Auria:
Well one point for Apple not supporting install of OS X on all computers is one of driver issues - everyone makes windows drivers so windows does run everywhere, and linux can afford to be a bit more buggy at drivers (or harder to setup) since it's usually free and community-maintained, but not everyone makes mac drivers and Apple can't write them all by themselves. And they couldn't advertise mac OS X installs on the average PC without drivers, cause users would try it, it wouldn't work, OS X would get a bad reputation, etc. that's how they achieve the rock stability that makes OS X users love it
HOWEVER, I think *forbidding* it is totally abusive. They could just have marked it unsupported (and of course it's more money for them this way)
