If it was me, I would install VirtualBox and install it in there. It's
a great place to test all types of different operating systems, from
Windows to Linux, and even Macintosh.

Where could you get a Macintosh OS? Online or buy it from Apple?
That's
how much I know about them.

I am sure this is old school, but this is what I know. Apple like
Commodore didn't care whatsoever if you pirated their operating system.
Commodore even wrote applications and they didn't care if you pirated
them either. As Commodore claimed they were in the hardware business and
only wrote OS and applications to support their hardware. What you did
with them is up to you.

Apple viewed it the same way with their OS. They just didn't care. That
is unless you crossed that line and were using them on non theirs
hardware (same with Commodore). Now they have a huge problem and don't
like that one bit. Both Apple and Commodore went after ones that targeted
non their machines and won easily.

So what I am saying in the end, as you don't qualify owing the OS unless
through a hardware purchase, I don't think it is legal through any other
means.

I see. Of course though Linux Distros come with no hardware but I guess
you would abide by a copyleft agreement or the distros agreement.
I remember the old VIC20s and C64s. There wasn't an OS there if I
remember. Just a Basic Interpreter burned onto ROM.
