Be persistent; not all Apple operators realize SLS is still being sold. If necessary, hang up and call again!
A recent postee on another thread confirmed that she could still purchase Snow Leopard Server directly from Apple for $20.
Logic has nothing to do with it. Historically it was all about money.
Once Snow Leopard could be successfully installed into Parallels on a Mac, it could then be modified and transported to a PC Hackintosh and Apple would lose hardware sales.
In those days Snow Leopard Server sold for $400-500 and by allowing the virtualization companies to install SLS into virtualization, Apple satisfied the demand for the ability to run Snow Leopard in virtualization, at a price that made sense for them for the small percentage that would migrate over to Hackintoshes.
Since Apple wants you to run the latest Mac OS now, they are not inclined to allow Snow Leopard (non-server) to run in virtualization, even though they are now selling SLS for the same $20. Hence, for historical reasons, Snow
