I switched from VMware to VirtualBox for a different reason:  $$.  I had
Fusion running on my Mac and Apple wanted more money when I moved from my
old Mac to a new one.  In the past, you had no choice for Fusion was the
only option to run virtual boxes on a Mac.  But thanks to VirtualBox that
is no longer a problem.  Installed VB and Win-7 in it with no problems at
all.  Free at last, free at last.
