I became acquainted with Virtual Mac OS X when I needed to work on some iPhone/iPad apps and be able to upload these to the Apple Store.
I do not own a Mac. so I was looking for an inexpensive solution to work on a Mac without actually own it. I searched the web for “virtual mac” and I got to VirtualMacOsX.com .
I was glad to find they are located in Canada and have a server in the Western Canada, which was even pretty close to my location. I ordered a managed plan that fitted my needs and soon after I received an email with all the service configuration, complete login details & instructions. That was quick! I paid less than $15/month and I could keep the service for as long as I needed.
The second time I needed a virtual Mac was when I needed to download my copy of Mountain Lion that I bought on Apple Store. You need a Mac machine to be able to download an item from Apple App Store. I plan to install this Mac OS on a PC using VirtualBox software from Oracle. Mac OS X 10.8 requires at least 2 GB of memory, so James from vmOSX graciously increased my server memory.
| I highly recommend VirtualMacOSX.com, as an affordable & reliable virtual Mac service, very easy to use, with an excellent customer service support.” – Lucian Mihailescu, LucianWebService.com |
