(I have them on different computers.) I like the VirtualBox interface better, and it seems to perform better when a Windows application is doing heavy I/O, but that might be an artifact of running it on a somewhat faster computer. VBox handles full-screen better. As I posted here, I couldn't make booting off the Windows DVD work propertly in VirtualBox. In practice they're very similar programs and either is more than adequate. Note: theoretically Converter images can work with VirtualBox, but it did not actually work correctly in my one trial. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews!
