Try Out Mac OS X Mountain Lion with VMware

Are you interested in trying out Mac OS X Mountain Lion, but don't want to dedicate a partition or upgrade your existing operating system? One option is to run Lion in a virtual machine using VMWare. This method allows you to test the new operating system without making any changes to your current setup.

To get started, you'll need a few things. First, make sure you have a copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview. You can download this from the App Store or re-download it if you've already purchased it. Next, you'll need VMWare software installed on your computer.

Once you have these requirements met, follow these steps to install Lion in a virtual machine:

1. Launch the New Virtual Machine Assistant and select 'Continue.'

2. Choose your settings and boot the virtual machine.

3. Locate the 'Install Mac OS X Mountain Lion.app' file in your /Applications/ folder.

4. Drag this file into the New Virtual Machine Assistant window.

The installation process is quick and easy, and you'll be able to boot and use your virtual OS X 10.7 install shortly after. Running Lion in a virtual machine with VMWare can be a great way to try out the new operating system without making any permanent changes to your computer.
