VirtualBox - An Open Source Virtual Machine
SectorSeven:
Hey guys,
I know this is a relatively old thread, but I was searching here to get some insight in regards to virtual machine software, and this looks like a good thread.
I just looked at some videos of the VirtualBox, and it looks great.
I was wondering, from your experience, is VirtualBox the better choice among the competing products?
Personally, I am looking for a lightweight way to test other operating systems.
Another question that bothers me a little - is this completely isolated from my host PC?
I mean, I dont want to mess things on my host - I want to be able to easily remove the virtual machine without having to clean my host after it.
TIA.

Now I tried Virtual Box with Windows 7 and I must say, it is definitive much faster than Virtual PC due to its experimental Direct3D Support. :Thmbsup:

@SectorSeven: Yes, to me it is the easiest, most stable, and best VM I have used. I absolutely love it and have been using it for a couple of years.
SectorSeven:
Thanks guys.
Looks like it is getting good feedback across the board.
