title: Developing on Mac vs. using virtual machine on windows based PC?
body: <p>I am trying to set up a project to develop an iPad application for the company I develop for. I am relatively new to iOS development and just recently got a not too old, not too new either iMac. My problem is that it is not intel-based and therefore I can't install the latest SDK on it. Not to mention that the new Xcode requires intel-based processors too.
  I have been doing some digging and found the possibility of running OSX and its applications through a virtual machine. Everywhere I have been searching for alternate options, this is the only other I can find.
  My question is: is it better or more recommended to develop iOS applications using a Mac vs using a virtual machine? If so, what makes it better to develop on one as opposed to the other option?
  Personally I am about to just tell my boss to get a couple of intel-based macs, but I need to back my suggestion up.</p>
