Desktop Virtualization.

OK. So I know that we should avoid being protocol passionistas, but DEAR GOD. I loaded Sun's Virtual Box to provide an XP vm instead of my stand-by of many years VMware Workstation. I have configured everything per the instructions and made multipe tweaks but the VM just hogs every resoure and it shouldn't ... this never happened with Virtual Server 1.0, 2.0 or even workstation 6.0-7.0. Going to head back to my old stand-by as I bid adieu to an obviously inferior product.

I can only imagine how bad Sun's enterprise hypervisor would be if their desktop porduct is this poor.

Craiggo out.
