Hi All
What are the pros and cons between KVM, XEN and Virtualbox for setting up either WinXP or Vista in a VM? The guest system would only be used occasionally for Windows-only applications (3D graphics editors)
Thanks for any comments

Hi Check to see if the BIOS supports virtualisation. e.g. Acer have it disabled. You have to flash it. The advantage with Vbox is that you can be up in a few minutes but again, if you want a 64 bit VM, your bios must support it. win7 in a 32 bit vBox with the extensions and guest additions active is fine here. If you want USB for the guest, get it from Oracle. I can't get it going with the 12.3 version.
