I need to be able to test it on both the Windows machines and the Mac.

First some questions... and, please, if at all possible I don't want to go into terminal.

Is there any reason to run Virtual Box on a PC to run SoaS? Would this be a way to get the same usb stick to work on both?</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">2) Some folks have reported being able to get SoaS to run on a Mac with persistent storage. Exactly how, in simple terms did they do this? Virtual Box I assume? But, maybe I am mistaken.</font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">3) When I set up the Live USB creator parameters, what do you recommend for persistent storage?
