OSX is designed to run on Mac hardware thus preventing the OS to be run virtualy even if you are a fanboy, developer, IT support or a pirate. there are hacks around it tho, not practical the one i know.

You have to hack the TPM, which is illegal and I can tell you first hand that OSXx86 sucks a big one compared to running OS X on a Mac.
