Seeing as how the surface pro 4 is the closest, in terms of spec, to the V, does anyone have any experience running mac os (and particularly coding in xcode) in a virtual machine on their SP4? My macbook air is dying and it will really be nice if the V could replace it as my ios development machine.

Hi @Kibbles!
As far as I know XCode unfortunately only does run on MacOS machines - so I can’t officially help you there.
However, @henning said he wanted to try to make the V a hackintosh, so let’s see how that will be going 
As virtual machine I think it should be surely possible to run macOS but if the performance is useable, I don’t know.
And yes stay tuned for macOS on the V
Not legally. The Mac OS licence strictly forbids people from installing it on anything other than Mac hardware.
oh that’s a worry… I don’t want to have to buy a mac just for developing…
Well you might not care but some of us who use devices for commercial needs care very much.
I guess as we all are some kind of technology “geeks” here, someone will figure out how to tweak the kext files of OS X to run with the eve. I dont know if there are any device yet using the HD615 on OSX (hackintoshed) but most probably we will find a way. Diffiuclt part like always will be WiFi - Audio and such things.
