I'm happy that Microsoft provides these VM's and I hope other vendors (Hi Apple!) would provide VM's as well. So we can make sure the web is accessible for anyone regardless the browser they use.
Wishful thinking. They actually make an effort to make sure OSX is not virtualizable onto other platforms. We recently had a pretty long-winded discussion about this very problem:
That would totally go against Apple's business model. If Apple provided VMs for developers to test with they would lose 92.76%* of their Enterprise market.
> You can find WebKit powered browsers on any platform
lol what? The latest Safari version on Windows is 5.x and isn't even distributed officially by Apple anymore. And Safari is a bit more than just Webkit.
> That's not a problem
Yes it is.Without a mac, one can't test websites on Safari.
