I like VirtualBox alot. I don't use it for anything of a "production"
status, but I use it alot for testing Linux distro's I'm not that
familiar with, or Windows Server (yeah, gasp) *BSD, etc. I haven't
touched upon the USB side of things, but I do have about 8 different
instances, with static IP's (technically DHCP assigned static IP's), and
I have had them interact with production systems.
The quality for me, seems to increase with the more RAM and disk space I
give it, but for something I use on a testing level, I don't give my
virtual instances a lot of resources to begin with. I like it, and use
it over VMware for testing.
