    Is it possible to run Mac Yosemite on vmware?

    For information: Apple allows full virtualization of its operating system, provided that it is installed on Apple hardware which is also running OS X 10.7 http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005334

    Most likely, but I'd expect driver issues, as Yosemite will be running on VMWare or Parallels virtualized hardware drivers.

    Yes, I actually have it up and running. It's dog slow though!

    Getting it installed is straight-forward: Click New > "Install from disc or image" Point it to 10.10 image

    I had no problem running it for the first time. Now when I wanted to resume my session I get this:

    The VMware Authorization Service is not running.
    

    Searching on google, I found that that I need to restart the service by entering in msconfig->Services. But I don't have any vmware service there.

    Then I tried to open the virtual machine with Run as Administrator, now I get this:

    The virtual machine could not start. Make sure VMware Workstation is installed correctly and you have rights to run the software and to access all directories it uses, including directories in which the software is installed, directories containing the virtual disk and configuration files, and directories for temporary files.
    

    Any idee what else should I do ?
