All that you are saying is that VirtualBox is not supported hardware and I must use supported hardware for the "it just works" experience. The premise is absurd, because ubuntu's website does not sell itself as an OS that "just works" http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/why-use-ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/why-use-ubuntu Nor does it insist on any particular hardware configuration. But instead, what we have here are fanboy comments on how Ubuntu just works and if it doesn't work, how the hardware is not up to a certain spec unavailable on Ubuntu's website, how it is so awesome for you and silly challenges to install OSX on a VM. > Have you ever tried to run OSX client under any VM? Thought so. I just don't understand why "OSX under VM" line is being trotted out all the time. I have never used OS X. I am merely disputing the statement "Linux/Ubuntu just works"
