Sun xVM VirtualBox 3.0: Virtual Developer's Delight

OK Windows Folks: Put VirtualBox 3.0 on your Ubuntu 9.04 Linux, or in Jason's case Fedora 11, or any of the great Linux Distros, and you've got a power pack, particularly if your PC's chipset has Intel-VT or AMD-V support.

VirtualBox will work fine without those chipsets, unlike W7's XP Mode which makes their presence a hard requirement.

You'll have full multi-processor, openGL and DirectX 3D rendering support.

So, don't waste your time. Get going with that Linux install and park a copy of VirtualBox 3.0 on there.

W7 doesn't approach the capabilities of Linux--not even close.
