I
just have to blog about this. VirtualBox has just become awesome. The update 2.1 has added support for VMware images and it SO works! I didn’t think this would be so easy. Just create a new VM and mount the VMware vmdk. Done!
For me that was always the critical issue with VirtualBox. At work I use VMwae for most of my stuff and on my Ubuntu box I use VirtualBox. So I could never use the same VMs. Now I can! How cool ist that?! So for all those not happy with VMware Player or the VMware Server 2.x here’s your answer. I’d probably also say now that VirtualBox does snaphots too there’s no big reason for going VMware Fusion or Parallels.
