I love Parallels but wished it allowed me to create Mac OS X virtual machines (guests) on my Mac OS X (host). I want to create a virtual lab of Mac's like I can do with Windows.
Anyone know of any solutions?
TIA

I hear you can virtualize OS X Server but don't know much about it.

The EULA does not allow you to virtualize Mac OS X. Only Mac OS X Server Leopard can be virtualized.

And only on VM hosts that Apple has somehow officially blessed or provides licenses for (namely VM hosts that run on OS X).
Quite unfortunate...

Thanks for the replies, I see now that this isn't a technical limitation.

When I downloaded Parallels, it looked like you could put Mac OS X in it. I haven't tried it though!

It will only allow you to install Leopard Server.

That's a pity. It would be cool to run Tiger in paralells and Leopard as the host OS!
What is OS X server anyway?

Guest mac? I didn't know that was possible.
Or are you talking about a cracked version of OS X?

Who cares about EULA's? Nobody reads them. I don't think anyone bothers to abide by them either!
