One of these days i came across an article in Infoword doing a comparison on some VM solutions, including VBox.
In the review they say it is "slow" when compared with Vmware Server. Well, maybe, but for desktop users this is by far the best solution there is ;) Also, this line got my attention: "One interesting angle to emerge from my VirtualBox experience involved the company's long-term product road map. It seems that InnoTek is actively testing its own microkernel (the company calls it a "hyper-kernel") for use in a new "bare iron" offering that will compete directly with VMware's ESX Server (delivery is expected second half of 2007). Suddenly, all of the work InnoTek has put into modularity makes sense. With VirtualBox, InnoTek has the beginnings of a true ESX challenger, one that — when combined with open source licensing — should give VMware fits in the datacenter consolidation market."
