I think people are missing my original intention to this thread. What has Oracle publicly stated their intention is with vbox? One news source says: "Oracle plans to integrate Sun VirtualBox as part of the Oracle VM family and use it as a sort of sandbox, which means that the company may want to integrate its offering with the acquisition of some virtual lab automation companies out there in the near future."
