How to create a Mac OS X 10.6.6 virtual machine on a PC
Dear Expert:
I have a virtual Machine with Mac OS X 10.5 over a PC (Windows Vista) by using VM-Ware Workstation 7.
How can I do for converting this Mac OS X 10.5 to Mac OS X 10.6.6 ? This is because I want to develop iOS (iPhone) applications from my PC. Is that possible ?

Virtualizing MAC OS is against Apple EULA. I think they are gonna change that soon, but at this point, that is the case.
No info is to be given/posted on EE "microvb" that goes against software EULA. It is against EE guidelines.
I don't think virtualising Macintosh OS is against the EULA; but it IS illegal to run macintosh OS X on any non-apple hardware.
So you could 'feasibly' install mac OS as a virtual machine in say virtualbox on your macintosh - then boot into windows (bootcamp) on the same mac and run the VM in virtualbox windows version. ONLY on macintosh hardware.

Trust me, it is...

Thank you for your answer.
In this case, is there a way for developing iPhone applications by using Windows directly ? (e.i. without using Mac OS X ) ?

I don't think there is - don't believe there is a developer kit for windows.. ..get yourself a cheap mac mini would be my suggestion...
Do you have a MAC Server OS?

Yes, it is in "violation". MANY questions of this very same type have been asked in this Zone the past few years, of which I've been a part of, and 'answers' that have been given to the poster on how to violate EULAs, whether it can be done or not, is 1. against EE guidelines, and 2. tend to get deleted by an EE Moderator. If you've looked at EE's Help and 'Success Tips' section, you would know this (see: https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp#hs=23&hi=16). Also, I don't believe I mention anything about points being awarded, just solely that answers to this question cannont be given. So, the fuss is in keeping with the confides of EEs rules...publicly available by Googling or not.

I think DragonFire SDK is what I need.
I don't want to make any violation.
Thank you all for your answers.

You are welcome for the reference. I was thinking DragonFire SDK looked the best out of that list, but havn't tried it. It does seem fairly cheap, and able to switch from objective C, to using standard C/C++ .
(Objective C can be a real pain).

Yes, I agree about Objective C. It has a really strange syntax.
