Thanks for the intro Bruce! To answer your question, no, since I bought vmware a while ago and it's very good too. But I'm looking forward to playing with VirtualBox.

Bruce, but what I want to know is this Has anyone interest in VirtualBox? I have so much fun with it today that - oh damn I've run out of ex-whatitsnames, its' so good! But then again there's always questions. Has anyone surgically played with this? Yes I have played with it a lot in the last 12 months. I reckon it is the best - usual German efficiency and thoroughness. The most interesting deploy was a server running CentOS 5 with VB driving Windows Server 2003 in the background. Totally invisible to anyone accessing the Linux box but otherwise appearing to the MS boxes as a Win2003 server running aux naturelle. This product blows me away. The doco's are good too. The above deploy was the result of a customer ordering a Linux file server and then after delivery, configuration and commit, decided that they needed to run some Windows tax packages on the server. So CentOS does the file serving, backups, mail, web and server 2003 dribbles along in VB in behind running the tax packages. A bit strange but everyone is happy and the whole thing is configured to start VB in the background automatically on boot and then server 2003 auto starts. It has been three months and not a service call needed.
