Oh! Apple

Waited for a day to install iPhone SDK 3.0 in an interesting VM

I found this iDenebMacOSX 10.5.7z thing that supposed to allow me to have a running Mac OSX 10.5.7 in a VMWare. So I tried it on my home machine as it seems to work. The VM machine does not work after it's being rebooted, but since I was thinking about using it just for learning iPhone SDK, so I think it's an OK compromise.

But then I found out something horrible about using that VM: the VM has super serious perofrmance issue when accessing Windows Network thru Samba. In fact, it took almost half a day trying to install iPhone SDK 3.0 from a .dmg that sit on a Windows machine, and it still had 38 hours to go as I shuted it down a few hours ago.

So then I was wonder if it will be faster to simply download it form the Apple site thru Internet. Attempting to run that VM on my Lenovo tablet PC was a failure because it does not have the required hardware (like the duo core), so I will give my office laptop a try and see how goes.
