(A postscript to this thread. I wasn’t sure which of the original posts to frame this as a reply to, so I decided to pick on Kyle.)

So, yesterday I had reason to want to run 10.10.5 to investigate a problem. No worries, I thought, I have VMWare Fusion for virtualization, and the MAS app is graciously showing me an available download for the 10.10 installer. Now, I was forced to replace my Mac a couple of weeks ago because my 2011-era Mac finally died. Of course, my new Mac can’t run 10.10 because it (the Mac) is too new. No worries … Fusion … virtualization … available download. The alert when I clicked the download button read as follows: > "We could not complete your purchase.” > > "This version of OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer.” And not downloaded either, apparently. So I propose rewording Kyle’s post something like this: > Virtualization of recent versions of OS X is permitted on recent Apple-branded > hardware. *But we won’t let you.* _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
