Goodbye VMware Workstation

Today I converted my last VMware disk image to Sun's Virtualbox on my Fedora 12 install. I converted a CentOS 5 image that I use as a sandbox for installs and upgrades of Koha, an Integrated Library System.

On my Windows XP image, I installed Boxee using Virtualbox's 3D hardware acceleration, and it work pretty well. I also watched a Netflix movie via Silverlight on the virtual machine and worked great!

I've been able to match every functionality I needed from VMware Workstation with Sun's Virtualbox with the same (or less) amount of hassle.
