I've used VirtualBox for years (back to when it was a Sun product, before the Oracle thing happened). Personally, I prefer it over the other commercial alternatives because it's easy to create a VM on any platform and move it to any other platform. Are you asking specifically about the VMs that Oracle offers or about Virtual Box itself? Thanks,--- A
