The OS licensing is friendly to running VMs as long as the underlying hardware is Mac hardware.
Building datacenters that run Linux is easier and cheaper, but Apple is a hardware company, they want to sell you hardware, so there's not much incentive for them to allow people to virtualize macOS on non-Mac hardware.
- boris 9y agoI wouldn't call a limit to two VMs friendly. Plus Apple doesn't make suitable hardware for this.
- eridius 9y agoHuh, I didn't realize they limited it to 2 VMs, but I just checked and you're right. That said, since they don't make appropriate hardware for this, I'm not sure I'd want to tax a Mac mini with more than 2 VMs anyway ;)
