Hi
We have used VirtualPC but have recently installed Virtual Box which I
really like. However I have struggled to get it to accesss the network
(which just works out of the box on Virtual PC). I am running Windows
7 but just cant get it to see other machines on the network. Any tips?
Cheers
Rob

I'm pretty happy with Virtual Box.
Reports from the Client environment I'm working in is that the
performance of the "free" VMWARE versions are crippled (as expected
from a commercial standpoint). So if you are expecting performance and
want to use VMWARE then buy it.
One of the differences between the two products is supprot of serial
ports - really only of relevance to people doing industrial type
applications.
