I agree. My company uses VMWare Workstation running under a Windows XP
host and a RHEL 5.2 guest so that our Financial Engineers can demo our
products. One of my coworkers, on my recommendation installed Virtualbox
on his home system so his wife could access her company's Intranet (the
host OS in this case is Vista with a Windows XP guest).  He likes VBox
better than VMWare because of the ease of installation and management.
