VirtualBox 100%! I've had issues setting up VMWare server on my machines, but VirtualBox runs light and fast. Plus, a fair amount of the code is under the GPL.

Xen for me ... never managed to get virtual box compiled :}

Heh, funny but I never managed to get a second (reliable) guest on my Xen Hypervisor! I followed many a How-To, but to no avail.

That, and Xen doesn't work for Microsoft products (yet).

VirtualBox for ease of use, good support forums

VMware server for ease of use, build and stability.

Great faq and support too.

VirtualBox is the best for me

Xen for testing iso images using the VT-chip. OpenVZ for running multiple OS.

It seems no one talks about XEN, is it realy that bad?

p3ppit 01-15-2008 05:29 AM

+1 on Xen... Well I've never used any other, so [insert clever punchline here]...

Xen = Bad?

No, it's just not quite mature enough yet. It's been six months since I last tinkered with it, and it wasn't "easy" enough to "just work". Maybe things have changed since then...

Virtual Iron(for the enterprise): which is not listed.

VMWare server for home.

honeybadger 01-31-2008 06:00 PM

VMWare
 
VMWare works absolutely fine - worked with Qemu too - that too is good.

As far as xen is concerned I am trying to install it for the third day and still the xen kernel is not showing up.

My vote is for VMWare

honeybadger 01-31-2008 06:02 PM

............. And what abt Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 :)

custangro 01-31-2008 10:11 PM

I had bad luck with Qemu...

VMWare is ok...Vitualbox is Awesome!

My vote is for Xen...just because I've been playing with it for a while now...

VirtualBox with no doubt, fast, light and free !
