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.

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.
Is that how I avoid OSX in the work place? Just move to the east coast?
As long as you're not looking to work in Higher Ed ou tthis way.
Did that already. Probably won't do it again. Way too much political BS. Impossible to get fired so you end up with a bunch of dead weight (in my experience). Found that it was a lower paying job, but very cushy.
Yeah. We have a good team here though, so no dead weight hanging around at the moment. I don't mind cushy. My last few years at my previous job were kinda rough. Getting to decompress and be human again has been rather nice.

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.

The Valley, like Silicon Valley? Why would they be using OSX over a custom build with Linux? Can throw Korora on it for a third the price and looks similar, but way better... Unless it's about the company image I guess. In which case if someone from the top down believes the only culture for the company is the Apple way, then there's really no changing that mentality.
Because SV is NOT all that technical. They are driven by marketing and fashion, not technology.
I want to plus this a million!
