Blogger Tom Puleo said he was really
happy with VirtualBox, and “when given the chance, will choose it
over
Virtual PC or VMware.” He said he liked VirtualBox because it is “fast”
and
“great for day to day use.”

Blogger Carl reported
that he has experimented with a lot of virtualization software and had
“come to
like VirtualBox best.” After switching his Windows XP virtual machine
from

VirtualBox
any time soon.”

Blogger Brian Silberbauer discussed
how when he’s teaching a course on JEE, he begins with NetBeans. He
noted,
“This is a great help to the students as it gives them the overview of
what we
will be working with and shows them how quick and easy it is to create
a JEE application
in NetBeans - It takes the complexity fear out of them (to a certain
extent).”
