I am curious why you would want to run OSX in a VM anyway?
What advantages does OSX give you over Windows or Linux Distros other than the obvious video or music editing which probably isn't ideal in a VM anyway?
He said a couple posts up that he hopes it was good for learning. So maybe self education.
In the IT field, that would be the last OS I would be interested in learning. Especially if your company doesn't have any so you have to download a poorly made image.
Depend what kind of support and IT you are interested in. Lots of people work in OSX support areas.
I have yet to meet one in person. Maybe it's an east coast thing. Macs seems to be much more popular in business on the west coast.
West coast is primarily Mac, believe it or not. Especially in the Valley. It's to the point that people are surprised when people use Windows.
Drop Box was 99.9% Mac when I visted last year.
What was the .1%?
Cool, but I'd at least double the RAM

Because SV is NOT all that technical. They are driven by marketing and fashion, not technology.
If only there was a Linux notebook with a glowing penguin on the cover.
I'd buy that .

You give them a logo they don't have, and they'll cut it. http://en.dawanda.com/product/55148715-decal-tux-for-the-apple-macbook

That's no sticker, it's just a kernel.

Well in either case, the batteries are pretty cheap if you do want to keep it running. Super easy to replace.

@BBigford I'll have to look at that... I found my order email... its the Mid 2012 13" air

Just had a Mac Mini die on us today.

Ugh I hope it wasn't running a graphics suite that the IT person at the time had warned against purchasing.

FTFY
This way the business will understand why you don't purchase toys for production use.

Can confirm. Michael Dell is the chairman of the bored of my employer and still use a Mac
That said I do own a Dell now too.

It's really that startups like to flaunt their ability to waste money. It's why I'd never invest in a company going into the Valley. The IT talent pool is pathetic and IT controls don't exist. Companies starting there fail like nowhere else. You definitely get the best developer talent, but at a cost that makes it just silly. Give me Spain or Romania or Ukraine or Russia any day.
Agree I wouldn't start there now today. Our primary campus is there, but IT operations, GSS, actual datacenter are all elsewhere.
