Has anyone had any luck with it?
As Netflix restricted 1080p streaming - Safari on Yosemite being among the chosen ones - I decided it was time I loaded the fricking mac OS on a VM instead of having to boot into Windows to get the "high quality" service I'm paying for.
Prior to such decision, I even tried masking Chromium and Chrome's user agent as "Safari on Yosemite" and a few other combinations (using the right strings, of course). No results so far. Netflix is really enforcing its thing.
So Yosemite it is. At least until Netflix has the decency to unleash 1080p streams for all supported browsers and operating systems.
Now, the problem is... I couldn't manage to run Yosemite on Linux yet.
I tried to load many OS images on at least 4 different virtualization applications, spending almost the whole weekend on this task. System freezes right after boot when it spots the apple. Maybe my hardware was not happy with it.
Any advice as to running Yosemite as a guest OS on a Linux host (arch more precisely) is deeply appreciated.
Here's an image (compatible with amd and intel) if you're interested in trying it yourself.
It's free so no worries.

Edit: F*** Yosemite. I'll get to run my native Windows partition as a VM for now... Ah, the wondrous world of Linux. I wish I had been to that section of Arch's QEMU wiki before.
