| http://ipodtoucher55.blogspot.com/2010/12/installing-ios-sdk-and-xcode-on-windows.html The above is a guide for setting a vm up to run osX, I was wondering if anyone is actually actively using this as opposed to actually being forced to buy a mac to compile on, and if you are doing it like this, whats your feedback ? |

| I set up a VM using VirtualBox. It's really, really slow and has a few bugs, due I suppose to OSX not being intended for use that way. Never even got as far as the iOS simulator - I dread to think how slow that is. Some people have also reported bugs in compiled programs, so it might not be a good option for compiling cross-platform code either. If you intend to make money from your Xcode projects, save yourself the trouble. Better to get a cheap Mac off eBay or from a refurbished-Mac store. |

| Yeah that was my first thought but what mac and how cheap |

| the store on apple.com sells refurbished equipment (with warranty) as well. |
