Just as a comment, I run virtualbox under MacOS and it works perfectly  
fine. So far I've run Windows/XP and Windows 7, DOS, and Ubuntu  
virtual machines and they work. Complete with network support and USB  
devices that MacOS won't support.

So while you may have had problems with it under Ubuntu (I won't go  
into how many problems I have had with Ubuntu), I would not discount  
it entirely in other enviornments.

It fits my needs quite nicely, I'm sure it does not fit everyones.

Geoff.
