OSX can only be run on Mac hardware. If you want virtual Macs within the EULA, this is what you must do. This would be attractive for people wanting to to build testing on mac machines, for example.

A desktop system with a novel thermal design is being packed in tightly in a way that the manufacturer probably hasn't tested, and in a way that's going to be hard to diagnose or fix? He who dares I guess :) What do people use hosted Macs for anyway? I guess there must be some niches, but surely everything that's great about a Mac is optimised for local usage?
That said, the bottleneck for this type of usage isn't performance - you'd have to wait 200ms between taps anyways, so why bother with a fast machine?
I'm having trouble seeing any use for this sort of thing. The main uses for hosted Macs are very, very well covered by a boatload of Mac Minis - they're a lot more cost effective also.
Is this purely a marketing ploy? Surely blades are much, much better suited for this...
Show me a blade that I can legally run OS X on.

I thought you could legally run OS X on VMWare - am I mistaken?
run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple
Software within virtual operating system environments on each
Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the
Apple Software

You can (per the EULA [1]) virtualise OS X on Apple hardware. VMware can run on Apple hardware. run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software [1] http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX109.pdf
That's gotta be hurting them now they have no xServe

If you are an enterprise you would not be using modified kernels with the copy protection neutered in production.
