VMware supplies a binary you need to download from VMware. VirtualBox supplies source that gets compiled everytime you upgrade the kernel. VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, (and XEN I think?) are collaborating on a virtual container standard and they're adding support for competitor's containers too. Your VMs should be portable. The only reason I can see to use VMware vs VirtualBox is to feed an ESX server, but that might be going away. And familiairity. What else does VMware offer over VirtualBox?
