OSX is the only crippled modern OS

OSX is the only modern consumer OS that can't be virtualized. Decades old Linux, Windows, and DOS OSs can all be virtualized today. In a sense, the DOS I ran in 1983 is more capable than OSX is today! So why hasn't there been an outrcy? Because Steve Jobs has dictated that virtualization is not necessary and Mac zealots regard all of Jobs statements as dogma. It sure makes me glad that my company hasn't standardized on OSX! We use virtualization all the time and if we had standardized on OSX, it would seriously impact our bottom line in a very negative way.
