I'm thinking things may have changed with OSX 10.7 - this is the first version (which I've only just noticed is there) officially supported by VMware (which is what I use). The only other versions noted are Server versions - but they all say things like: "You must have an Apple-labeled computer to install OS X 10.7 in a virtual machine." - but whether this is simply to comply with the EULA, or because there are hardware checks, not I cannot say. When VirtualBox released OSX support (in 2010) they said "Unofficially, you can install Snow Leopard and run it in VirtualBox on any PC by using a couple hacks and installing OSx86." Moral: Remember to read the fine print. Software claims to "support" something can be as bad a software EULA's, full of little loop-holes and technicalities.
