Aha yea sounds like it
Thinking of trying to install using Kalyway Leopard iso image with a different vm setting, but it seems that the image that I downloaded (which just ended yesterday after almost a week torrenting) is corrupted. I think

Sounds like it works far better than XP on vmware ever did! I think I’ll give it a go – from previous experience, I’m guessing that there’s an image available. And… I’ll just do it rather than making assumptions

iTunes works, but the sound doesn’t work out of the box, at least not for me. Most managed to get it work by patching the kext file. I haven’t got the chance to play around with it though (blame me for being a lazy bum). But things that annoy me at the moment:
1) my CD-ROM will automatically get ejected whenever I boot my OSX. When I pushed it back in, it will get ejected by itself again. But if I have a CD that was already mounted on the host before OSX get turned on, it won’t happen.
2) at times I won’t be able to release my cursor out of OSX (ctrl + alt). It happens everytime when I am on OSX and the amarok OSD pop out. Damn it’s annoying.

How well does something like iTunes work? I had no luck getting it to work via XP on vmware, but if the Osx instance works better it would be a great stopgap while we all pressure Steve Jobs to play nicely
