Dual-Boot Win7 and Apple? First off, I have no idea what Apple calls their OS. I only use their iOS devices and I tried to avoid their computer OS as best as possible, however, I'm getting started in developing iOS apps. I need to either run the Apple OS in a VM or set up dual-booting. I have a few questions though that hopefully can get answered.


Where can I purchase a license for Apple?
I've never set up dual-booting before, how do I go about doing so with Win7 as my current OS? (Ideally using a different HDD)
Is there anything I should know before going ahead?
Quite simply, you purchase a license for OS X by buying a Mac. It is licensed only for Apple hardware. 

There is no other way to legitimately run it, either natively or in VM. 

Running it on any other hardware would be against Apple's EULA &amp; would also be off-topic for StackExchange.
