EULAs do not work that way. It does not matter who bought the copy of OSX, it can *only* be run on Apple hardware, including virtualized copies.
You may want to check with a lawyer. I doubt that the 13 buying the copy does anything of benefit. I suspect that legally, all you are entitled to do is to return that copy for a refund. It does not magically get you out of all the contractual obligations that you are trying to dodge. I am not saying that you should not buy an Atom, but I have a real hate on for that hardware. The performance for that power envelope is way too low, especially when compared to something Arm based. On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 12:16 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm going to forget an atom.
