Nobody knows the licensing terms for Lion at this point.
However, no Apple OS has been licensed to install in a non-Apple branded machine, so it is unlikely.
Also, as far as we know right now, Lion will only be sold through the Mac App Store which requires Snow Leopard to be installed. As mentioned, Snow Leopard is not licensed to run on anything but an Apple computer.

  • Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

    I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
    Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
    Thanks

    From the Parallels website:
    32-bit Operating Systems
    Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
    Windows 7 SP1
    Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
    Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
    64-bit Operating Systems
    Windows 8
    Windows 7 SP1
    Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
    Windows Server 2012
    Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
    I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
    if you haven't already.
    FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
    using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
    had no issues.  I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
    Server app installed.

  • Is it possible to install a ATI HD 4780 in to my mac pro PCi.E slot 1

    Hi iam new to this apple forum and have an Question befor i buy and try then fail or fxxx sumthing up. Are there any driver support for this set up?
    Thankx for replies Gals :N: Guys

    If it lacks EFI firmware, it won't work in OS X and no video out but will work if you install and run Windows natively.
    Right now, Nvidia 8800GT and ATI Radeon 3870 are the two upgrade choices.

  • Viewing .mac websites on non-macs??

    I understand java script must be enabled and internet security on high can be a problem. A medium setting is supposed to be fine.

  • Possible to Install Leopard on External HD and Boot on Another Mac?

    Is it possible to install the Leopard upgrade DVD onto an External HD, AND THEN use the external HD to boot Leopard onto another Mac? Also, since the upgrade disc is an "upgrade," would I have to first install Tiger onto the External HD?
    If possible...
    Am I able to create an External Boot Drive that can boot both onto a PPC Mac and also onto an Intel Mac? Or will I have to create separate partitions?
    Lastly, can Intel Macs boot from an External USB Drive? Or are FireWire Drives required? Thanks!

    Yes, you can install on an external drive and boot the Mac. I do it all the time.
    I'm not 100% sure whether the same drive can boot PPC and Intel Macs -- I don't think so because PPC macs require Mac formatting and Intel Macs require GPT formatting to boot.
    Intel Macs can boot off both USB and Firewire external drives. PPC Macs can only boot off Firewire external drives. In any case, Firewire is better as it's quite a bit faster.

    Is it possible to install os x 10.7 on a mac pro 1,1? If so, where can i get 10.7?

    Your computer is compatible with Lion but not with Mountain Lion.
    First, make a backup of your files. Then, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Before upgrading to Lion, check if your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

    Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

    You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
    You may download the product from

    Hi got_jorge,
    Sorry, this is not possible, as it is not only a matter of data that you put on the Hard Drive.
    Everything is different:
    CPU, Firmware, Power Management, etc.
    It just doesn't work the same way.
    May I suggest?
    Sell your computer, so that you can get a Mini and (most probably) don't need to buy a display, as yours should make it with the Mini?
    Sorry.
