Success virtualizing LabView on a Mac
I have confirmed that LabView runs successfully, with full network capabilities, in VirtualBox (which is free) on a Mac.

The virtualized Windows is set to the static IP 10.xx.yy.6, and the Mac receives an IP address via DHCP. Host mode networking must be enabled for the virtual machine, and based on my testing, it only works via the wired interface. Of course, Mac OS can connect to a different network via wifi, or obtain a different IP address over the ethernet connection. I successfully imaged the cRio and deployed VIs from the virtual machine.

Finally, Labview "plays nice" with the seamless windowing mode.
