I've run XP and and W7 with no issues using VBox and VMWare. KVM has allegedly gotten better, and with the direct support of our favorite upstream vendor it may be a workable enterprise solution. But I still find that the built-in management tools for it were designed by monkeys actually trying to write Hamlet.
Hi Nico, There is truth in what you say. Things on this front are getting better all the time. Spice is getting better too. The rate of development in dizzying too.
Virtualbox has a *much* cleaner interface for managing a few guest environments.
Be careful of Virtual box. It is a toy. It also cost me my largest customer. I am still really pissed at the way Oracle treated me and this problem. *It cost me dearly*, as in tens of thousands of dollars of income: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8478 My option and experience: only use Virtual Box as a toy. No mission critical stuff. -T
