Not too many features of particular use to Mac users, but the I/O limiting and expansion pack stuff looks pretty cool... I'll definitely be evaluating this for use on my servers.

VirtualBox


I'm not sure how performance compares to the earlier versions, I've only seen the betas compared...

Funny, I just saw comments about it on IRC:
[09:58] <user1> well virtual box 4 isn't showing a create deal of promiose
[10:01] <user2> user1, crapped all over?
[10:01] <user1> crashing out

Sounds like it's the same old shit and expectations are set correctly.

It may be indeed be shit on certain platforms, but it is the official Oracle/Solaris virtualization solution, so some would obviously disagree with your assessment, mduell.

Me, I'm still evaluating it along with KVM and others for a possible VMWare Server replacement for the summer. It certainly holds its own in terms of performance and features.

Virtual Box works awesomely well for all my uses:
OSX host, Linux guest, Windows guest
Linux host, Windows guest
Windows host, Linux guest
Needs some patience with USB connections, but it works. 99.9% of my VM time is using a productivity application, not plugging a thumb drive.
