Thanks.  Right, I have not had a chance to try VirtualBox, and was 
pressed for time (we actually went fifteen minutes over schedule...)  A 
few people that I know use it, and I have heard of it, but that is about 
the extent of my experience with VirtualBox.  The presentation was meant 
to be more of a primer for new users than an all-inclusive developer's 
reference.
