Certain companies (e.g. VMlite) use VirtualBox as a base platform, yet it conflicts over system resources. (no way to transparently install and run VBox and VMlite side-by-side)
After reading this paper about "WinPcap Pro": http://www.riverbed.com/us/products/cascade/winpcap_pro.php ...I came to realize, that something similar might be possible to improve VirtualBox revenues. i.e. you could make a custom ver of VBox (VirtualBox embeddable), which won't conflict with the main branch of VBox, and let ppl to install both branches side-by-side. Since you own drivers, you could make them share VT-x, network, USB, and other critical resources. Then you could license this ver of VBox to third-party, such as VMlite and possibly other companies, that want a strong foundation and custom solution in the virtualization space. Please read the paper and consider this possibility.
