I am using virtualbox, but thinking about vmware- I dont know anything about it, except fer what Google tells me, which is a lot. Too much, actually, and I can't make sense out of a lot of it. Any opinions?<br>

Yes, VirtualBox is a toy. Â VMware is a tool. Â Go VMware, accept no substitutes. Â Works flawlessly, updates are easy, tools are reliable, performance trouble-free. Â The naggling / niggling little issues with VirtualBox easily consume enough time to justify the very reasonable costs of VMware Workstations [and ESX is free].<br>
<br>
Note that I'm talking about VMware Workstation and/or ESX - not their free versions [which are junk by comparison, IMO].<br>

I'm having trouble getting Magicjack to work in a virtual windows, it works, but there is a severe lag, or freezing up,choppy sound. I'm on a kubuntu 10.04 set up.<br>

I left VMWare Workstation for Virtualbox a few years ago for seamless mode. Â At the time VMWare couldn't do seamless mode, and Virtualbox did, and that made it worth it right there. Â I've been perfectly content with vbox ever since, so I never bothered to see if vmware could do it yet.<br>

Anyone know?<br><font color="#888888">

<br>However, I'll be quite pleased to be made aware when libvirt can do it. :)<br><br>-- <br>:wq<br>
