Hello all,
is someone still using Snow Leopard? And if yes, why?
How can you VM it? I thought Apple didn't allow that and it wouldn't run?...
Hello all,
is someone still using Snow Leopard? And if yes, why?
It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion, Mt. Lion and thereafter. That myth was largely debunked over the last two years.
The issue was mostly rendered moot when Apple threw in the towel and dropped the price of Snow Leopard Server to the same price as Snow Leopard, namely $19.95.
So I can install the server version into VMware and it will support it natively?
I am not sure what you mean by the word "natively" but yes: you can install Snow Leopard Server into VMWare Fusion and it will support it. My personal experience is more with Parallels.
Remember, if continued use of PowerPC apps is one of your reasons for having Snow Leopard, be sure to pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server from Apple for $20. Put it up on the shelf for the day when you must upgrade your hardware and using SLS in a VM is your only option remaining for access to Rosetta.
If/when Apple ceases the sale of SLS, its price on the aftermarket will skyrocket.
Will it...? By the time Apple ceases SLS sale, Snow Leopard will be too far gone...![]()
I think you missed my point:
Let's say you own a 2011 iMac that primarily runs Mavericks, but you dual-boot to Snow Leopard from a 2nd partition in order to access your large library of Freehand MX files, an orphaned program that requires Rosetta and has no Intel substitute.
One day your 2011 iMac fails and you purchase a new iMac. At this point, whether tomorrow or years into the future, you discover that Apple no longer sells Snow Leopard Server, or has raised the price back up to $499 retail.
In order to continue to access your large Freehand MX library, you need to run Freehand MX in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels to regain Rosetta functionality.
Hence best to purchase a copy of SLS now for $20 and put it up on the shelf for this rainy day!![]()
I think you missed my point as well...
It's the same thing when I imply SLS going too far with something like - if VM still support Windows NT4 or Windows Server 2003... If so, did the aftermarket prices of these 2 products ever go up in the past...?
Rather than give an analogy (I am not a "Windoze" guy), why don't you just restate your point, so I can see how I missed it...
You were the first person in this thread to name "Rosetta" as a reason for continuing to use Snow Leopard, but apparently, you are not as well versed in Rosetta, and the PPC apps using it, as I thought:
Nope... I've ditched Rosetta the moment I upgraded my software to Intel Binary...
If you have no reason to use Rosetta, why are you chosing to continue this debate with me, when others, who are not "lucky enough" to have "alternative Intel architectural equivalents" do have reason to continue to use Rosetta?
They are the ones whom I advise to purchase a copy of SLS for $20 and put it on the shelf; not you!
