This has been asked before, I know, but the answers are a bit dated.

I think I’ve read somewhere that the Snow Leopard EULA has changed and that you now are allowed to install the OS on a Virtual Machine of some sort.

I know I should buy a Mac and I might do so, but I want to try Objective-C in practice before I do that.

I want to develop an application for iPhone, but if the IDE is as nasty as they say I might skip it altogether. I just want to have a look at it first.

So, is it possible do install what you need to develop iPhone apps on a Windows based machine as host?

    Yes. You can run OSX in a VM. I use MonoTouch and Visual Studio to write my applications in C# with a shared directory between the two. Write code in VS, build and debug on OSX within the simulator. It would also work with Objective-C if that’s the path you take. If you’re not a Mac Guy I would recommend MonoTouch though, it makes development MUCH faster.
