Vmware isn't available yet for the MacOS as far as I can tell.  However it
should be a relatively easy port since there is already a Linux version of
VMWare.

Does VMWare run on Mac OS?? That would be a very useful situation. Mac
bottom level, Windows in VM.

I wouldn't ever suggest moving to OS X just for security, it is a benefit
(for now), but there are enough reasons to move FROM MS to another home
desktop OS in my mind.

Mac would be great, if the hardware wasn't so much.
