Hi Joe. One thing about Vbox is they are rapidly adding new features which cause some instability and regressions. Unless there is a real need for one of the new features in the 3.2 branch, I would recommend working with the 3.0 branch in a production environment. They will announce when they feel that 3.2 becomes production ready. VirtualBox is a great type 2 hypervisor, and I can't believe how much it has improved over the last year. Have a great day!
