Vmware vs Virtual Box

I have decided to try out Virtualbox as I keep hearing about better performance and stability. I am also hoping it will be a lot smoother with installation,updates and transporting between different platforms.

I will update this article on my findings.

My Vmware Experiences
I have 2 virtual machines and they are used for testing and distribution purposes.

• Everytime there is a kernel update, I have to re-compile it.
• Bit trivial with upgrading for people who are not used to the terminal
  
• When transporting a virtual image file to be used in Windows, I have to convert some configs (Think this is common thing).
• When changing test environments I have to change network settings.
• Feels like a power hog, can cause some bizarre effect once in a while.

My VirtualBox Experiences

• More user friendly to install
• Feels like a light weight
• Fast
• Virtual drives are stored straight to [home] folder
  
• Dynamically compiles the kernel module :)
• Ran my unsupported Webcam in XP very fast too :))))
  

Think I'm in love already.
