I wish I could spin up a Mac desktop to test some stuff with htis. Anyone have any inside info re: whether they have plans for Mac WorkSpaces?

  Doubt it because of licensing issues. Apple does not allow virtualising OSX on anything except OSX ;)

  Probably not, as they currently offer no OSX-backed instances. Even if they did, Apple restricts OSX to Apple hardware. There are a few companies out there that offer this, but typically you'll pay $25-40 for a fairly anemic setup (say 1-1.5 GB). This is likely a direct product of the hardware cost, as opposed to the ability to use commodity hardware for Windows/Linux.

    Do you happen to know the name of the vendor that does this?

      I Googled a received a few results - I want to say the terms I used were "osx vps"

  Your much better off virtualizing Mac OS X locally. With small tweaks, you can even do this with VMware on Windows.
