virt-manager is designed to be cross-platform compatible, and it IS ported to Windows. If the port to Mac OS doesn't already work out of the box, then I'm sure the virt-manager community would love patches. And THAT is the gui app of choice for dealing with VMs in a cross-platform manager, since virt-manager IS a gui. But this is not the virt-manager mailing list. Here, in the lower-level qemu, we focus on providing the machine-friendly knobs, so that higher-level apps like libvirt, and on top of that virt-manager, can expose a nice gui that uses those knobs. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
