Who really cares?<br /> <br /> More apropos would be digging into the details of bridge networking to VMs on linux hosts or optimizing server VMs using JEOS guests...

It's about using Linux on your Desktop computer and the series highlights various tools for doing that. Some people can't convert 100% to Linux for whatever reasons so desktop-level virtualization is one way to keep Windows and use Linux too.<br /> The column is virtualization and I cover all aspects of that beat, including those related to Microsoft--but always with a Linux spin. ;-) If you notice, I’m installing Linux in the VM in the series.

It runs on most operating systems, it's open source, and it supports Linux officially. It's certainly more appealing to me than Virtual PC.

And he gave a pretty terrible review of it, in my opinion. @sandbender: VirtualBox was in the the Part One article. And he gave a pretty terrible review of it, in my opinion.

Nice to know, though that Microsoft does it as well. I will stick with Virtual Box, thank you. Nice to know, though that Microsoft does it as well.
