Hi!

Maybe what I'm requesting is silly, but I would like to see a VPS running MAC OS X!

I don't think Mac OS X has support for pv_ops.

And Apple's licence only allows it to run on their hardware. Linode with a bunch of Minis or Pros in a rack? I doubt it.

I was sad when Apple discontinued the Xserve. Not that I had the cash to buy one but still, it was nice to have the option.

Apple does allow OS X to be virtualized (Lion or Mountain Lion, desktop or server), but only on their own harwdare. VMWare Fusion supports this, but both their and Apple's intent is to support developers, not hosting providers.
