off topic : Parallels alternative : VirtualBox

[Pierre Sahores]

Hello Thierry,

I'm running the GPL version of VirtualBox 1.6.2 under MacOS X 10.5.4 -  
MacBook Pro 2 Ghz. At this time, 2 hosted OS are installed

- Win 2000 Pro packed inside a VMWare .wmdk partition (because i used  
the VMWare Fusion's "VMware Importer.app" to convert it in just two  
clicks from its original Parallels 3.xx ".pvs" format ;
- Win XP Pro SP2 packed inside a native VirtualBox .vdi partition.

Both are just working very well and fast. The RAM and processor's time  
footprints of VirtualBox are the lowest i ever seen about  
virtualisation !
