    It's pretty good. This allows me to Virtualize Linux distros with ease of use while i use Windows.

    This is a great Virtualization program. I love the fact that it is free, but I also think it performs better than VMWare Fuzion and Parallels on my Macbook.

    Absolutely great for cross-testing apps on both Windows, Linux and openSolaris, ans good if you cant pay for Visual Studio just to compile Apache yourself! :P

    I've been using VMware workstation a couple of years but by now I'm only using VBox to give me a second OS...

    برنامج رائع لمحاكاة الحاسوب بمختلف الأنظمة.. أعتبره بديلا ممتازا لبرنامج مايكروسوفت.

    By far the best free virtualizing software around. If you want to experiment with other operating systems, but do not want to do a "real" install, try this one.

    I've been using VMware, Microsoft Virtual PC, QEMU, and even coLinux on Windows, but nothing beats VirtualBox. Fully featured, fast, stable, and free - I've been recommending it highly to everybody!

    I love VirtualBox just because it allows me to get back in to Linux even though my Linux Box died many months ago.

    However it won't allow me to install Arch (my favourite distro) as it keeps crashing but hopefully they'll fix that soon. The tab-bar thing at the bottom of a full screen session annoys me too but I can't find a away to get rid of it.

    However, it is still awesome and performs very well.
