Yes, I'm coming to that conclusion. At this point I have a lot of
inertia built up with VMware since I've been using it for a while. I
also have a large library of VMware VMs with extensive snapshot trees in
VMware Workstation 5.x. It's very handy to be able to create an
unlinked clone of any given VM/snapshot and just go in VMware Server on
another machine.
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VBox_vs_Others is quite interesting though...
This is partly why I'd love to see a preso/demo at PLUG N or W. One of
these days I'll come up with a list of features and use cases and ask
the Ubuntu VBox OSE users on the list for comments. Though I've
downloaded the latest manual and will read it tonight...
Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
