Open source VirtualBox challenges VMware Workstation
,----[ Quote ]
| I tested VirtualBox 1.5.2 on both Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and Ubuntu
| 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon.” As with previous versions, installation was
| straightforward. The only caveat was the need to manually configure bridged
| networking support -- a process that involved creating a network bridge
| between the VirtualBox TAP adapter driver and the local NIC driver on the
| host. After this bridge was in place I could browse my local network from the
| guest OS and access resources on the host OS. As with previous versions,
| though, I did encounter the occasional IP address conflict message from both
| the host (Vista) and guest (Windows XP).

The end of the proprietary database?
,----[ Quote ]
| While Packer does not believe that proprietary databases are doomed, he does
| see the writing on the wall in emerging markets and that the increased use of
| open source will eventually surround proprietary databases in established
| markets. Unless the proprietary suppliers respond they risk losing business
| in the long-term.
