I wanted a virtualization solution that run on a Windows host OS and I compared VirutalBox to VMWare's free offering a year or so ago.
The VMWare product was a mess -- starting like 6 services every time my Windows host OS booted up. This was bunch of crap running all the time -- regardless if I was actually using virutalization or not -- there was even some tomcat server running on my machine. I can't stand that kind of stuff.
VirtualBox, on the other hand, had just a single process running. Much cleaner and easier to understand.
