I really don't understand how running inside Virtual PC can be considered as running "native" in OS X. Doesn't sound native to me..

  No, Native = running on Mac OS X.
  
  Using Virtual PC is just a step in the process.
  
  There is no CFMX package that will install on Native Mac OS X.
  
  So we install the Linux version somewhere -- either a real pc or a emulated pc.
  
  The installed Linux version is then ported to Native Mac OS X.
  
  I figured that VPC was more accessible to a Mac user than a real pc -- but you could use either.

  Here's a URL that shows an image of the CFMX administrator -- careful examination will show that it is, in fact, running on Native Mac OS X.

  Nice! :)
  
  I hope the 3rd part of this article appears soon. :) Now I only need Oracle on OSX and I can start using my Mac at work. Now that would be nice! :)
