Vitualise MAC OS on Windows.

For testing purposes, we need to install MAC O/S on top of W2K in a virtualised environment.  Can anyone advise which vitualisation sortware to try?

There is no way to run MacOS inside virtual machine. Apple lisences does not allow that. There have been rumors that upcoming versions of Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion allows running MacOS on top of Mac computer.

Any of these free like VMWare Server?
Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion costs about 100$. Trial versions are available. Those run on Mac computers and You cannot run MacOS on top of them yet.
MacOS doesn't run on VMWare Server.

Really 8.1 versus 10.5 is in windows wolrd like 3.1 versus Vista...

"we need to install MAC O/S on top of W2K in a virtualised environment"

Did you get anywhere with this FreeSpirit?
Thanks every one.  Have spread the points for this one.  
As far as I can see there is not clearcut solution for our needs.    Will be pressing for budget release to get machine instead now.
