Agreed. I spent hours setting up my virtual machine the way I want it.
I don't plan to scrap it and start over.

However, it is nice to see that there are free competitors. I plan to
buy a new home PC this year for my wife. I'll install SUSE, of course.
I  plan for her to have a virtual machine. Maybe I'll use VirtualBox
for it to run XP/2K apps.
