Thanks for replying . But still my question is not answered. If we have OVM-X86 and the guests are windows/solari/linux ...will we be requiring separate drivers ?

Basically, vmware virtualizes the hardware presented to virtual machines where virtual machines running on oracle vm will need native drivers. Is the above statement correct.....Do we need separate drivers for guest OS in oracle VM ??
