Virtualization

[Nathan England]

Hello Hello,

I have been a longtime user of VirtualBox for windows virtualization in
linux. I do not require a lot, I use it basically for testing web apps
in IE. I don't do Netflix or the sort, but my new Galaxy S has Netflix
on it, so I signed up for a free trial just to try it out on the phone.
Which got me playing with it in the virtual machine as well. 

With all the talk lately about VirtualBox being trash (new to me, like I
said, happy customer for years!) I decided I would look into other
things and see what I must be missing because apparently the product
that has worked so well for me these last several years is apparently
"junk"...

I remember a while back I used Vmware Server which was free, but now I
see they have a couple different offerings.

My question is, what do you use and why? Which Vmware product is best
for the basic usage I want and maybe trying Netflix in. My laptop has a
40GB SSD so I am willing to give up a few gigs to a windows install
inside a vm, which I need for testing anyway, but I'm not about to
dual-boot. 

I appreciate your feed back.

Nathan
