It seems somebody forgot about Xen, which also is more powerful than VirtualBox as it not only supports the CPU-virtualization-features but also, when using paravirtualization offers you performance which is very close to native.

And finally, VirtualBox simply sucks because it does not support 64-bit guests...
I really don't understand all the VirtualBox-hype, must be Windows-related as it is, admittedly, the best free virtualization-solution for Windows host-systems.

Aside from that I don't really understand that your contributions here seem to be limited to linking to other places. After all, this here isn't Digg...
